How the World Cup Ball Is Made — The $170 Ball With a Chip Inside

The 2026 World Cup ball is not just a ball anymore. Inside it is a sensor that tracks movement hundreds of times per second, helping AI systems judge offside calls, deflections, and game-changing moments. In this episode of THE PROCESS, we reveal how the World Cup ball is made, why Pakistan’s city of Sialkot produces most of the world’s soccer balls, how Adidas moved from stitched panels to thermal bonding, and why fewer panels can change the way a ball flies. From factory floors to VAR decisions, this is the hidden engineering behind the ball billions of people will watch. 🌟CHAPTERS: 00:00 The World Cup Ball With AI Inside 01:00 How Pakistan Became the World’s Soccer Ball Factory 02:53 How the 2026 World Cup Ball Is Made 05:58 Why Every World Cup Ball Gets Hated First If you are the owner or if you want to be featured please contact us at: [email protected].
