The Telstar Match ball has been given an all-new panel design, with an updated graphical coating. This helps improve the performance and adds durability. These days, it is cool, and good to go green, which is why Adidas has been dedicated to being able to work with recycled materials for the ball container. The upper is made from textured PU, for improved grip touch stability and aerodynamics. While given an all-new panel design, it continues utilizing the classic 6-panel design that was also used on the WC 2014 Brazuca. The outer layer has been lined with two foam layers, to ensure the correct amount of bounce, flow and strike ability. The Telstar match ball is thermally bonded together, to allow a more stable flow in the air, a more predictable path and lower water intake. First, the panels are glued together, after which they are formed around the bladder and pressured in a mould. As it is made from top quality material, it is FIFA Quality Pro.
