World Cup Match Ball Goes High-Tech

The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off in Qatar featuring new so-called “connected ball technology.” The official match ball made by Adidas is called Al Rihla, which means ‘The Journey” in Arabic. And it’s loaded with sensors that transmit data 500 times per second. The ball can track every touch, and officials will use it to help inform offside calls as well. #worldcup2022 #tech #fifa

For all you “it’s football” folks: “The word soccer comes from a slang abbreviation of the word association, which British players of the day adapted as “assoc,” “assoccer” and eventually soccer or soccer football. (The habit of adding -er to nicknames in British vernacular is frequently attributed to Oxford students of that period, and can be found in other sporting slang such as “rugger” for rugby.) The parallel names soccer and football (or the combined soccer football) were used more or less interchangeably to refer to association football until well into the 20th century, at which point football emerged as the dominant name in most parts of the world. However, in countries where another football variety was already popular-such as America and Australia-the name soccer stuck around.”
