Adidas 2006 World Cup Teamgeist 2025 Remake Soccer Ball
The Adidas 2006 World Cup Teamgeist remake ball is virtually a 1-to-1 remake of the original ball.
The Teamgeist is known for its inconsistent flight
The Teamgeist was revolutionary when it debuted at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Unlike traditional 32-panel balls, Teamgeist featured just 14 thermally bonded panels. However, it did not really work out. The ball was known for its inconsistent flight and was hated by goalkeepers.
Its name, "Teamgeist", meaning "team spirit" in German, reflected the ethos of that World Cup—emphasizing unity and collective strength.
Adidas Euro 2004-2024 Remake Balls
The Adidas Teamgeist launched on Thursday, 20 March 2025. The launch followed the 2024 re-release of the Roteiro Euro 2004 ball, keeping with the trend of reviving legendary footballs from past tournaments. The Adidas 2025 Teamgeist remake ball is priced in line with current high-end Adidas match balls - 150 euros.
The re-release could kill the reseller market
Indeed, the Teamgeist is a rare collector's item today, also because of its knuckleball feature. You will have to pay 400 euros upwards for a brand-new ball - the re-release impacts the reseller market.
