As it has been a tradition for a few tournaments, Adidas have released an XXL version of the Official Match Ball of the World Cup, called Al Rihla Jumbo.
Adidas Al Rihla Jumbo
Just like previous Adidas Jumbo footballs, the Jumbo version of the Adidas Al Rihla has a diameter of 80 cm (normal Size 5 soccer ball: 22-23 cm).
In terms of tech, the Jumbo 2022 World Cup ball is very different from the regular OMB version. The Adidas Al Rihla Jumbo has a 100% polyurethane cover and is hand-stitched.
Indeed, the 2022 World Cup Jumbo is the same as previous Jumbo balls except for the shape of the panels.
