Where: Russia, 2018

The Telstar 18 ball harkens back to the Telstar ball introduced for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, both in name and visual cues. It features a black-and-white design in a pixelated digital design and includes just six panels.

While similar to the World Cup 2014 ball in Brazil, which was the first to use six panels, the Telstar 18 redesigned the propeller-like panels by giving them sharper edges and creating longer panel edges with longer grooves, all meant to improve flight stability.
