Questra is the name given to a family of footballs originally produced by Adidas for major international events in the mid-1990s.
Named after "the quest for the stars," successive versions of the ball were produced for the 1996 Olympic tournament and Euro 1996.

By manufacturing the new ball from five different materials and enveloping it in polystyrene foam, Adidas made the Questra more waterproof and allowed for greater acceleration when kicked.
However, some goalkeepers complained of the ball's unpredictability in humid weather, which made saving shots on goal particularly difficult.
