FIFA U-17 WC: 'Krasava', the official match ball for the tournament unveiled

ADIDAS unveils Krasava, the Official Match Ball for the 2017 FIFA Under 17 World Cup in India, where the likes of India, Brazil and Germany among others will battle it out for top honours.

The pattern on the ball features a striking red design with jagged lines running through it, designed to represent the design of a Russian Ruby and the metaphorical jewel of the game.

The ball’s name, “Krasava”, is a word commonly used by Russian sports fans to describe a beautiful performance and is the ultimate praise for a team when they play with creativity and flair.

The structure of the ball incorporates the same innovative and widely-praised panel shape as the Beau Jeu and Fracas, the adidas balls that were used in the group and knockout stages of UEFA Euro 2016. It offers premium surface structure, enhanced grip and in-flight visibility.

The ball will be seen on-pitch for the first time on 6 th October, with the kick off of the tournament. A similar version of the ball is available at adidas retail stores in the form of the Krasava football, and is retailed at the following price points- INR 1799 & INR 2,499.
