The official match ball for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa was presented on the 4th of December 2009. The name of the ball is Jabulani, which means ‘to celebrate’ in isiZulu, and it is the 11th edition of adidas’s FIFA World Cup balls.

The pattern of the ball is made up of 11 different colors with a reference to the 11 players on a football team, the 11 official languages in South Africa, and the 11 South African communities.

The ball has been criticized by Brazilian goal keeper Julio Ceasar for looking like some kind of beach ball. However, adidas would claim that the ball is a new and better version of any ball previous made available to world of soccer. Adidas would point at several new technologies being applied.
Grip’n’groove texture which allows for maximum control, stable flight and perfect grip under all conditions.
Furthermore the Jabulani comprises eight thermally bonded 3D panels that have been, for the first time ever, spherically molded to make this ball a perfectly round football that is more accurate than ever before.

For the World Cup 2010 final on the 11th of July 2010 adidas has produced a special finale ball which will exclusively be used for the final and which is called the Jo’bulani.
