FIFA World Cup ball revisited: No more worries about smart chip
The Adidas Telstar 2018 suffered many pitfalls at last summer’s FIFA World Cup, one of which was a rather useless smart chip. Well now, those worries have subsided.
Every four years the FIFA World Cup sets up an experimental lab for soccer balls. The latest: Adidas Telstar 18 and Mechta. Each tournament’s new ball always upsets some people. And the latest competition one had two balls: FIFA World Cup 2018 started with the Adidas Telstar 18 and then transitioned in knockout stages to the Mechta.
