Questra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Questra was the name given to a family of footballs originally produced by Adidas for major international events in the mid-1990s.
The first ball of the family was simply named the Questra and was originally designed to be the official match ball of the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Due to the popularity of that ball, there were two new editions of the Questra released in 1996. One of them was named the Questra Europa and was intended to be the official match ball of the Euro 1996 in England, while the other one was bearing the name Questra Olympia and was the official match ball of the football tournament at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
The last edition of the Questra was the Questra Apollo, which was used in the Spanish League matches and by the Spanish national team in the 1996-97 season. The Questra Apollo was actually identical to the original Questra from the 1994 World Cup and its only difference was the logo of the Royal Spanish Football Federation printed on its surface in addition to the standard design of the 1994 ball.
