is Providing The Most High Tech for the 2018 FIFA
will use sensor-equipped footballs in the upcoming world cup that have been manufactured in Pakistan.
The biggest footballing event that keeps people at the edge of their seats is going to be a technological marvel. As we reported earlier, the official match balls for this world cup have been manufactured in Pakistan. What makes these balls different from the conventional ones is that technology has been used to revolutionize how the game is played.
The footballs will be equipped with sensor chips with Near Field Communication (NFC) tech that will be connected to a smartphone. The chips don’t really need a special Adidas app to work. You just need to enable NFC on your phone and have the ultimate personalized content experience.
Telstar and the Chip - Adidas is bringing back it’s iconic ball that was ’ first-ever and used in a FIFA world cup in 1970. The ball is called Telstar 18 and you already know it is manufactured in Pakistan. The ball is thermally bonded, meaning heat instead of stitches was used to patch the pieces. Telstar’s seamless surface is designed to ensure precise ball control and reduce water absorption as well.
The embedded chips will help provide the users with personalized content and interaction with the global community. Fans can also upload their videos doing challenges using the Telstar 18 as different competitions will be announced later on. It will further give its owners information about other Adidas products as well.
The technology isn’t as sophisticated as Adidas micoach Smart Ball that gives information like curl and pass speed, shot power etc. but it works just fine considering its an NFC debut match ball.

Vietnam is crying every day that they haven't got license for broad casting world cup up until today. The main reason due to high cost. According to its news page, the asked price is about double to the price of the latest world cup broadcasting license that paid for. If it fails to get the license, videos and live streams of world cup in any manner will be prohibit. Football fans suggest that they will take a cheap tour to their neighbors Cambodia and Laos to watch world cup.
