Adidas Al Rihla

[2][3] The presentation in Qatar featured former World Cup winners Kaká (Brazil) and Iker Casillas (Spain), as well as Farah Jefry (Saudi Arabia) and Nouf Al Anzi (United Arab Emirates).

[11][12] For souvenir sale, replicas of Al Rihla were also provided and produced by Adidas, but its production subcontracted to another company in Madiun, Indonesia, Global Way.

[16][17] Its "Speedshell" surface is textured with debossed macro and micro patterns, meant to improve the ball's flight stability and swerve.

[17][6] Franziska Loffelmann, a design director at Adidas, describes Al Rihla as "the fastest and most accurate FIFA World Cup ball to date.

[21] On the "Pro" version of the ball one can read "Football is..." and all around "teamwork - fair play - collective - responsibility - passion - respect" in six languages: English, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, Spanish, and Esperanto.

[23] Whilst the technical aspects of the ball are the same, the colour is different from the Al-Rihla balls used in the group stages and preceding knockout games, with a Gold Metallic, maroon, Collegiate Burgundy, and red design, a reference to the national colors of host nation Qatar and the golden colors shared by the Final's venue and the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
