Design and manufacture
The original Telstar used in the 1970 FIFA World Cup was the first football
to show a black and white pattern. This was done to ensure that television
audiences would know where the ball was while games were in operation, due to
many televisions at the time sporting a black and white screen (colour
television was still rare in many parts of the world in this era).[8]
Although the Telstar had 32 panels, the Telstar 18 has six textured panels.
They are not stitched, but seamlessly glued together.
The ball has an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip. However, it is
of no value to players, providing no information about their kicks or headers
of the ball, although Adidas has provided this in a previous football.
Consumers who purchase a Telstar 18 are able to connect to the chip using a
smart phone to access content and information that is unique to that ball,
personalized and localized, providing the consumer with interactivity themed
on the upcoming World Cup competition.
The Telstar 18 balls are manufactured in Pakistan.
