New design features striking red pattern to represent a Russian RubyBall’s name is often used to describe a beautiful and creative team performanceBall to be used on pitch for the first time on November 14th 2016Herzogenaurach, 11th November 2016 –
#adidas has today launched Krasava, the
#officialmatchball for the
#fifaconfederationscup2017 in
#russia, where the six continental champions, including Mexico and
#russia, as well as World Champions Germany will battle it out a year before the 2018 FIFA World CupTM kicks off.
The pattern on the ball features a striking red design with jagged lines running through it, designed to represent the design of a Russian Ruby and the metaphorical jewel of the game. The ball’s name, “Krasava”, is a word commonly used by Russian sports fans to describe a beautiful performance and is the ultimate praise for a team when they play with creativity and flair.
The structure of the ball incorporates the same innovative and widely-praised panel shape as the Beau Jeu and Fracas,
#adidas balls that were used in the group and knockout stages of UEFA Euro 2016. It offers premium surface structure, enhanced grip and in-flight visibility.
The new ball will be seen on-pitch for the first time on November 14th, when
#russia takes on Romania in a friendly. It is available to purchase from November 11th from selected retailers and
#adidas.com.
