FIFA World Cup Official Match Balls (1930 To 2022)

March 23, 2023 by georgemackinwc Leave a Comment

The FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, contested by the senior men’s national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport’s global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (often called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently takes place over three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the final phase of the tournament, which is contested by 32 teams.

The official match ball of the FIFA World Cup has been made by Adidas since 1970.

In the past, other companies such as Nike, Mitre and Select have also supplied official match balls for the tournament.
