Tournament: FIFA World Cup
Date: 21 June 1930
Type: group / final
Country: Uruguay
Stadium: Centenario Stadium
Teams: Uruguay - Argentina
Score: 4-2
Brand: Tiento (Argentina)"

Interesting facts: The 1930 ball was supposed to be made of 12 parts, as in the illustration on the left, but in fact two balls were used in the final! In this match, hosts Uruguay faced Argentina. There was a heated debate about which ball to use – the Uruguayan or the Argentine one. The hosts, Uruguay, allegedly had a slightly larger ball than Argentina, although given that the required ball circumference was always between 68 and 70 cm, the difference should hardly have been noticeable. In the end, the only way to resolve the differences was for the teams to agree to use the Argentine ball in the first half and the Uruguayan ball in the second. Suffice it to say, Argentina led 2-1 at half-time, and Uruguay won the game 4-2!

The sources of inspiration for the developers of the ball were the tricolor flag of France and the Gallic rooster. The blue triangular elements and stylized images of a white rooster with a red Adidas logo as a crest correspond to the three colors of the French flag. This ball was the first to be made outside Europe (in Morocco and Indonesia) with Adidas Telstar times.

One ball used in the final was sold at auction for $73,769, with the proceeds going to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
Of course, the practice introduced at the previous World Cup was continued here, so the balls were printed with information about the given match (participating teams, date, stadium and host city), and the balls actually used in the matches were later provided with a sticker. These balls are the most valuable, Genuine items start at around $3,000 if found.

Tournament: FIFA World Cup
Date: 29 June 1986
Type: group / final
Country: Mexico
Stadium: Aztec Stadium
Teams: Argentina - FRG (Germany)
Score: 3-2
Brand: Adidas (Azteca)

Interesting facts: Azteca is the official match ball of the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. This ball was developed by Adidas specifically for this championship. The ball is named after the Aztecs, an indigenous people in Mexico. A sphere consisting of 32 hand-sewn fragments (20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal), which for the first time in an official World Cup ball were made not of genuine leather, but of synthetic substances. The panels consisted of four layers: an outer shell made of polyurethane and three layers of different "Adicron" structures that complemented each other. The use of such materials extended the durability of the ball and further improved its water resistance. The technical characteristics of the ball were especially important at this championship, which was held in a country with high humidity and a significantly elevated area above sea level. As in previous models, 12 circles were formed on the ball around pentagonal fragments. Now the "triads" on the hexagonal panels were not just black, but had a traditional Aztec pattern.

Date: 7 July 1974
Type: experimental

Score: 1-2
Brand: Adidas (Tricolore elast)

Interesting facts: In 1974, there were three official World Cup balls, in addition to the black and white adidas Telstar Durlast, there was also the orange-pink Apollo Durlast and the white Chile Durlast. The material of all three types was the same, they still consisted of 32 panels, and depending on the weather conditions, the referee always decided which one to use in a given match. At this World Cup, matches were held not only during the day, but also in the evening, so the all-white Chilean version was often used. Even before the final, all three types were prepared for the field, a famous photo shows the referee conducting a pressure test on all three types, and in the end he decided that the match between Germany and the Netherlands should be played with the black and white model, which the Germans won 2-1 and became world champions at home.
