Adidas Rihla Match Ball

No, the ball arrives deflated and will require a standard ball pump and needle before you can use it.

This certification confirms the ball has passed rigorous testing for weight, water absorption, shape retention, and size accuracy. It guarantees you are playing with a ball that meets the exact standards used in professional, elite-level matches.

While it is durable enough for training, its thermally bonded construction and premium materials are designed specifically for match play. Using it primarily for matches will help maintain its flight characteristics and surface integrity for longer.

The seamless, thermally bonded construction creates a smoother surface that absorbs less water and offers a more predictable, consistent flight path compared to traditional stitched balls. It also provides a cleaner, more responsive touch when striking the ball.

Yes, you can use it on artificial turf, but keep in mind that abrasive turf surfaces can wear down the outer cover faster than natural grass. If you play exclusively on turf, you may notice cosmetic wear sooner than expected.
