JABULANI - THE OFFICIAL WORLD CUP 2010 BALL
Introducing the 2010 FIFA World Cup Ball, Jabulani. The name means "to celebrate" in Zulu. The design features eight panels, bigger sweet spots, and an all-new grip 'n groove profile. The grip is enhanced with a raised micro structure to give strikers more precision, while aerodynamic grooves allow this ball cut straight through the air like an arrow. The 11 different colors on the ball represent the 11 official languages of South Africa, the 11 diverse South African communities that exist throughout the country, and the 11 players on the pitch.
The adidas Jabulani 2010 World Cup Match Ball will be the ball used in all World Cup 2010 games in South Africa. There are plenty of technical details, some of which are after the jump. But the key ones as far as I’m concerned are: 1. It’s round, and 2. It bounces.
THE 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP BALL PASSED APPROVAL TESTS
Drum Test
The drum test was developed by adidas to guarantee high quality and durability of the printed surface, the unique design and look of the ball. Like the adidas +Teamgeist, the FIFA 2010 Ball also features the underglass print technology, providing the Official World Cup Ball with the best and strongest surface material ever and guaranteeing the ball is more durable and will hold its unique look much longer.
Loss of Pressure Test
If the ball loses air during the game, it will be difficult to predict and may not respond consistently, making long passes and deep crosses almost impossible. For this test, the ball is inflated fully and three days later its air pressure is measured. It must not have lost more than a specified percentage of its air.
- FIFA-Approved Standard: Loss of pressure maximum 20%
- adidas Jabulani: Loss of pressure maximum 10%
