Korean sports equipment brand Nassau has released a special edition signed soccer ball to commemorate the Korean national team’s participation in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and to show support for their success.

The commemorative ball features the signatures of head coach Shin Tae-yong as well as star players such as Ki Sung-yueng, Son Heung-min, Lee Chung-yong, Lee Jae-sung, Yeom Ki-hoon, and Koo Ja-cheol. Nassau, the official ball supplier to the Korea Football Association (KFA), is exclusively distributing this World Cup edition signed ball.

Over the past 47 years, Nassau has built a strong reputation as a Korean sports brand, continuously enhancing its technological capabilities in sports equipment. Leveraging this expertise, Nassau introduced the world’s first four-panel soccer ball, the “Tuji FA,” last year. The Tuji FA is currently used as the official match ball in the FA Cup, one of Korea’s most prestigious soccer tournaments, featuring both amateur and professional teams.

In addition, Nassau provides official match balls to various domestic leagues, including the amateur K3 League, the university-level U-League, and weekend leagues for elementary, middle, and high school players?platforms that foster future football talent in Korea.

A Nassau representative stated, “We launched the signed ball to commemorate the national team’s participation in the 2018 Russia World Cup and to cheer for their success. As the official ball provider for the Korea Football Association, this commemorative product will be exclusively sold by Nassau.”

He added, “For those who support the Korean national team, we hope this signed ball will be a meaningful keepsake to remember the team’s journey in the Russia World Cup.”

Nassau began its business in 1971 under the name Sebing Trading Co. It later expanded by obtaining official tennis ball certifications from both the United States Tennis Association and the Korea Tennis Association. It also acquired international certification for its soccer and volleyballs. Today, Nassau manufactures a wide range of sports goods, including basketballs, jokgu balls, tennis rackets, badminton rackets, and training equipment.
