FIFA presented the official ball of the semifinals and finals of the World Cup in Qatar
The International Football Federation (FIFA) on the official website presented the ball of the semifinals and finals of the World Cup, which is being held in Qatar. The ball was named Al Hilm, which means "Dream" in Arabic. In the group stage of the tournament, as well as in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the ball Al Rihla ("Journey") was used.
Al Hilm's design is based on a textured gold base color with a subtle triangular pattern inspired by the deserts surrounding Doha.
The ball will use the same connected ball technology as Al Rihla, which has a motion sensor that tracks the player's location at the moment the ball is hit. It is used together with the technology installed in the stadium, which tracks the movement and position of the ball and the players.
This is an improved version of the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The old VAR system needed 70 seconds to determine an offside event. Now the choice will be made in just 25 seconds.
In the semifinals, the Argentines will play with the Croats (December 13), and the French will meet with the Moroccans (December 14). The final match will be held on December 18.
