FIFA World Cup Official World Cup Ball since 2000

FIFA World Cup 2018 ball

The Adidas Telstar 18 is the official ball for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It is a reimagined version of the iconic ball used during the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. The design is very similar, but there are a few technological advancements. The ball uses a hybrid synthetic leather made from carbon fiber and thermoplastic urethane and a butyl bladder. The Telstar 18 has a different feel compared to the Brazuca, and it has a new look that is sure to impress. The design is meant to look like an old-school soccer ball, with black and white panels, but Adidas has modernized it with some blue elements. The black and blue color combination are the same as the one used for the Champions League ball. The black and white panels are inspired by the ’70s soccer shirts.

2014 FIFA World Cup ball

The Adidas Brazuca is the official ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It is the successor to the Jabulani ball used in the previous two tournaments. The name of the ball comes from the Brazilian Portuguese term for “Brazilian people”. The Brazuca is the first ball to be completely manufactured by Adidas. It is made with an entirely synthetic material called “Six-Star”, which is softer than latex while providing better touch. The Brazilian theme was reflected in the colors of the ball, which were inspired by the flag of Brazil and the art of Brazilian artists. The ball’s design features the word “Brazuca” emblazoned across it in bold letters, while the official World Cup logo is printed below. Brazuca is written in capital letters in the official FIFA language of Brazilian Portuguese. Adico’s website says the name was “inspired by the joy of football and the Brazilian way of living.”

The Adidas Jabulani is the official ball for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. It is the successor to the Teamgeist ball used in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The name Jabulani means “to celebrate” in Zulu. The Jabulani was made with a synthetic material called “X-Press” (which is similar to latex), and it was the first time Adidas made a ball “from scratch”. The ball’s design featured the usual Adidas colors, with a green color that represents the continent of Africa. The design of the ball was also inspired by Africa’s wildlife and landscape.
