In quantum chromodynamics, in fact already in pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, a glueball is a bound state of (just) gluons (a kind of confinement).
Glueballs are hard to detect in experiment but their existence is confirmed by lattice QCD, also by the AdS-QCD correspondence (see there). According to Greensite 11, section 8.5:
The caloron idea is probably the most promising current version of monopole confinement in pure non-abelian gauge theories, but it is basically (in certain gauges) a superposition of monopoles with spherically symmetric abelian fields, and this leads to the same questions raised in connection with monopole Coulomb gases.
