Adidas Jabulani World Cup 2010 Matchball

World Cup 2010 Matchball JABULANI, means ‘to celebrate’ in isiZulu, the language spoken by almost 25% of South African’s. The magic number behind this ball is 11: it has 11 different colours but the main colours are (as announced earlier) white, black and yellow. These 11 colours represent the number of players in a football line-up, the 11 official language in the host country, and the 11 South African communities. The diversity of all these 11 aspects is put together on one ball, which will be used for the world’s greatest football event, the World Cup.
The German manufacturer reckons the eight-panel design makes it the most spherical design yet. And they say its ‘Grip’n'Groove’ technology (whatever that means) gives “an exceptionally stable flight and perfect grip under all conditions”.
