100% adidas authentic official match ball with NFC ENABLED that proof the balls is 100% AUTHENTIC – in adidas display box. Tap the NFC chip on the Telstar18 with your smartphone to unlock content and enjoy an exclusive adidas experience. FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS OFFICIAL MATCH BALL. Years of legacies, rivalries and dreams come colliding together at the FIFA World Cup. This ball will be used during the most thrilling stage of the tournament, including the final itself. The unique mono-panel design pays tribute to Russia’s urban landscapes, and pixelated graphics mimic the look of a spinning adidas Telstar. The first of its kind, the ball is embedded with an NFC chip that lets you unlock exclusive content on your smartphone. This ball has a seamless surface for pinpoint accuracy and low water absorption. Each panel is the same size and shape to provide smooth, even performance. NFC = “Near Field Communication”. How does NFC work? The NFC enabled device (most smartphones/tablets) sends radio frequency signals that interact with the NFC tag (in this case, inserted in the Telstar 18). The signal allows the device to communicate with the tag, which in the case of the Telstar 18 tag, is passive and only sends out information, while the other device (the NFC enabled mobile) is active and can both send and receive information. The NFC enabled device will receive the information from the tag, which will then open the Telstar 18 experience. Football-ss18-omb-telstar-ingrid-imageWhere can I find the chip on the Telstar 18? The chip is placed inside the Telstar 18. There is an NFC logo printed where the chip is placed. How can I activate the content? You need an NFC compatible device to read the NFC tag. Most Android devices, iPhone7 and newer, are able to read NFC tags. How does it work on Android? How does it work on iPhone? Only iPhone7/7Plus, iPhone 8/8Plus and iPhone X with iOS11 or newer installed, are enabled to read NFC tags. IOS doesn’t have a native functionality to read these tags, so a third party app must be installed to be able to read it. Do I need an app? You only need an NFC-reading app if you are an iPhone user (see point number 7). No adidas app is needed to enjoy the Telstar 18 NFC experience. What is the experience about? The experience offers different functionalities like exclusive information about the product, adidas football content, special competitions and challenges, etc. Features will be updated so keep tapping! Is the experience exclusive to the chip users? Can I share the link of the experience? No, if you share the link, users will be redirected to a different page, as the experience is exclusive for those who tap the Telstar 18. Not neccessarily, you can also try tapping the Telstar 18 at our retail stores, or tap your friend’s Telstar 18. Can my friends tap my ball? Yes, you can all tap the same Telstar 18 and enjoy the experience on our own mobile phones. Can I rewrite the NFC tag? It is not possible to delete or rewrite the encoded parameters. Is the chip telling me how I use my ball? No, the chip is passive. This means it only triggers an action on the NFC enabled device. In this case, it’s opening up the experience on your mobile. My chip doesn’t work, what do I do? Make sure your mobile device supports NFC and fullfills the requirements for it (check point 6 if Android, point 7 if iPhone). Ensure your device is close to the NFC chip (NFC logo is printed on the ball, see point 3). Ensure your device has Internet connection. Brand new with adidas display box!!
