Several of them have made history. Such is the case of the iconic Telstar from 1970, the Fevernova from 2002, and of course, the Jabulani from the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

A ball remembered for its unpredictable trajectory in long-range shots.

The design remained the same from 1970 to 1998. It was only in the edition where France won over Brazil that the ball became colorful.

All were made of leather until 1982. The first with synthetic material was created for the 1986 World Cup.

See below images of all the balls from the 1930 World Cup up to 2022 – shared by FIFA before the Trionda was revealed.

And afterwards, recall the details of each of the latest ones.
