Its design reflects the unity, energy and aspiration of three countries - Canada, Mexico and the USA. I am looking forward to the moment when this magnificent ball will be in the net. The football holiday is getting closer and closer - and the ball is already in the game!"

    The ball includes a harmonious combination of the national colors of the host countries: red - Canada, green - Mexico, blue - USA.
