Official FIFA 1994 World Cup ball in United States

Adidas Questra model

Questra by Adidas was the official match ball of 1994 FIFA World Cup in United State, the first World Cup celebrated in USA. The name was derived from an ancient word meaning "the quest for the stars."In the development process of the Questra, Adidas tried to create a lighter and more responsive ball. By manufacturing the new ball from five different materials and enveloping it in polystyrene foam, Adidas made the Questra more waterproof and allowed for greater acceleration when kicked. It was the first model with a white foam layer with a high technology polyurethane. It gave to the ball a huge energy recovery. The design of its triads (black triangles in the hexagonal panels) symbolize the star and planets of space.
