2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup: Where’s the squawking about the ball?

Related Topics: FIFA World Cup

Adidas introduced the Oceaunz match ball for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. It’s the ninth football Adidas has produced for them. It celebrates with colors inspired by Australia’s landscape.

There are blues and greens, with visuals suggesting the mountains of New Zealand. There are also cultural markings and initials of the two host nations.

Of course, all the balls are tested extensively before delivering them for match use in the FIFA World Cup, both Men’s and Women’s. But when the men prepare for their matches, the chirping about deficiencies soon grows into squawking before the media.
