This is a carnival in the football world. 32 football teams will play in 64 games and compete for the Hercules Cup.
This is also a carnival for polymer materials. From the official designated game ball to the commemorative banknote, there are all kinds of polymers!
For example, the official game ball Telstar18 was designed by Adidas. Telstar 18 (TV Star) adopts a new 6-spheroid design. Its design was inspired by the use of Telstar, the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.
The molded pads of Telstar 18 are made of EPDM rubber manufactured by Arlanxeo.
Telstar 18 uses a thermal bonding non-woven process. During the manufacturing process, balls are placed in a bowl-shaped mold that is close to a perfect sphere. The multilayer structure of the bladder, the sphere and the polyurethane coating are chemically reacted. Once sealed the entire football.
Compared to traditional hand-stitched football, bonded football minimizes the irregular bumps on the surface of the sphere, making the sphere appear a perfect arc, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of football operations. At the same time, the seamless stitching is a spherical surface with excellent Hermeticity and waterproofness.

Looking at this 'space football' will bring good luck to which team?
