The ball that will be used in the inaugural match of the World Cup and played by teams from Russia and Saudi Arabia, was taken to space in the Russian ship Soyus MS 08 to promote the event.

As expected, the astronauts did not escape the World Cup fever and also demonstrated some of their football skills, with the Telstar 18 ball manufactured by Adidas, feats that we can appreciate in the funny video that I leave below.

Adidas is the supplier of the mundialista ball from the historical world of Mexico 70, with the classic hexagonal-pentagonal black and white geometric design, an intelligent ball that in its domestic version will be compatible with mobiles. But not everyone is happy with it, many archers have already complained expressing among other reasons for their discontent that is covered in a plastic film that makes it slip easily from the hands something very serious for an archer, they also say that it bounces irregularly and therefore it is very difficult to decipher, so many goals already predicted and some of them unexpected that may influence some results generating controversy.
