First, we are going to start for the ball that is being used and then we are going to mention the
mascot.
Adidas Telstar 18
The Telstar 18 by Adidas is the name of the ball used in this World Cup.
ZABIVAKA
The official mascot of the 2018 FIFA World Cup is called Zabivaka which means Goal scorer.
It represents an Eurasian wolf called Canis lupus lupus with brown and white fur, and orange goggles.
The combination of white, blue and red T-shirt and shorts are the national colours of the Russian
team.
