Adidas Oceaunz
The Adidas Oceaunz is a ball for association football produced by Adidas. It is the official match ball of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup as well as the 2023 J1 League and 2023–24 Qatar Stars League. It is the ninth successive football produced by Adidas for the FIFA Women's World Cup.[1] The name "Oceaunz" is a portmanteau based on the tournament's geographical location: Oceania, Australia, and New Zealand.[2] Oceaunz features the same connected ball technology used in the official match ball at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
