Adidas making this ball already available may have been a mistake
The Adidas 1986 World Cup-inspired ball has made its debut in Argentina and is specifically dedicated to the Argentina national football team. However, the ball might has been added accidentally as there is no custom product description for the ball yet - it just has the name "Afa23 Clb", while the description is 100% generic.
