If there has ever been a reason to celebrate, the Official Match Ball for the FIFA World Cup 2010 is it. Aptly named “Jabulani” meaning “to celebrate” in Zulu, the Official Match Ball is the 11th Adidas World Cup ball. Truly emblematic to South Africa, the ball represents the 11 official languages and the 11 tribes that keep the diversity of this country alive. Featuring a SA-inspired design and the latest technology, it is constructed from eight 3D panels, ensuring a ball that is perfectly round and one that will keep the goals flying.
