The ‘Al Rihla’ has already been a major hit for the tournament. Taking into account all the goals scored in the group stages and knockouts so far, we have already seen 158 strikes in Qatar. That is even more than the final numbers achieved in 2006 (145) and 2010 (147).

‘Al Hilm’ which translates to ‘The Dream’, will be replacing ‘Al Rihla’, which translated to ‘The Journey’ in the next four games. This ball also has a unique ball design, which is quite different from the ball used for the rest of the competition.

Introducing the @adidas Al Hilm — the official match ball for the #FIFAWorldCup semi-finals and final.
