World Cup 2010 Ball

The Adidas Jabulani is the official match ball for the 2010 FIFA World Cup thatunveiled in Cape Town, South Africa on December 4, 2009. Jabulani was developed at Loughborough University, UK and means “rejoice” in Zulu.

The Jabulani was additionally acclimated as the tournament ball of 2009 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, and a special version of the ball, the Jabulani Angola, was the match ball of the 2010 African Cup of Nations. This ball is also used in the 2010 MLS season in the USA in the league’s colours of blue and green as well as the 2010 Clausura Tournament of Argentina.

The Jabulani has eleven different colours are used, representing the eleven players on a football team, the eleven official languages of South Africa, and the eleven South African communities. Jabulani also has four triangular design elements on a white background.

The Jabulani Angola, used at the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola, was coloured to represent the yellow, red, and black of the host nation’s flag. A gold version of the Jabulani ball, was announced as the ball for the World Cup Final. The ball will be called the “Jo’bulani”, playing off the Johannesburg nickname of “The Golden City”.

The Jabulani balls are made in China, using latex bladders made in India, ethylene vinyl acetate, isotropic polyester/cotton fabric, glue, and ink from China, thermoplastic polyurethane-elastomer from Taiwan.

The Jabulani is going to be every striker’s greatest Christmas gift and every goalkeeper’s nightmare. To be honest, I can’t wait to see Cristiano Ronaldo strike this Jabulani Soccer Ball because when he does it could be spectacular! I spent some time taking shots and it absolutely pings. The Jabulani is a very light ball and when you strike it clean it moves fast. In a sense, it reminds me of a plastic ball and it sounds plastic when you bounce it.

One of customer review is Fernando Robledo. Here is what he said about World Cup 2010 Ball“Best Soccerball ever. Now I know why soccer players kick hard and move fast. It’s all about the Ball.”

When You Control The Jabulani Ball Off A Long Pass, You Can Feel The Energy Of The Ball On Your Foot

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Jabulani Adidas

Loughborough University become research partners for the adidas “JABULANI”, after previously developing the 2006 World Cup footballs and 2008 European Championship for adidas. The ball has been tested by many world-class international players, including Kaka, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, and Petr Cech.

The word ”JABULANI” takes from the language isiZulu, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa, that spoken by almost 25% of the population. Literally translated, “JABULANI” means “to celebrate”. Football is a passion that unites the world. The name of the new match ball appropriately pays tribute to the passionate football celebration international fans will enjoy in South Africa next summer.

Eleven different colours are used in the adidas JABULANI, the eleventh adidas World Cup ball. These 11 colours represent the 11 official languages of South Africa, the 11 players in every team, and the 11 South African tribes that make the country one of the most ethnologically diverse countries on the African continent.

The newly-developed “Grip’n’Groove” technology giving the best soccer players in the world with a ball allowing an exceptionally flies straight and true and perfect grip under all conditions. Comprising only eight, completely new, thermally bonded 3-D panels, which for the first time are spherically moulded, the ball is perfectly round and even more accurate than ever before.

The colourful design brings together the tremendous diversity of the country in harmonious unity. Four triangle-shaped design elements on a white background lend the ball a unique appearance in African spirit. And like the outer facade of Johannesburg’s Soccer City Stadium, individual design elements also capture the colourfulness of South Africa.

The future designs will be created using the same technology seen in the Jabulani. Let me finish up by giving you 2 tips; anticipate the ball flying further than you expect, and when you get to shoot remember that by using the Jabulani, you already have an added advantage over the goalkeeper!

When Jabulani took the opportunity to be tested in game, the resulting views were all very similar, with a lot of guys pointing out the fact that the Jabulani moves super fast and ends up playing longer than expected. To understand what this ball is all about, you must get the opportunity to try one out, so you will understand what I mean when I say that putting some spin on this ball makes it move.

One of customer review is Charles Rice. Here is what he said about World Cup 2010 Ball “I bought one of these about 6 weeks before the world cup so that me and my friends could play with it and see what it was like.As a field player, I love the way it plays on the ground. It gives great control for dribbling and moving downfield. I also like the way it shoots. Perhaps if I was a more precise shooter, I’d feel differently, but I am happy to hit the quarter of the goal I am aiming for, and I can do that as well with this ball as with most others. I like shooting this ball. Overall, I like it a lot. Most of the people I play with agree, but definitely not all of them.”
