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 and endorsed by many world-class soccer players, including Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Petr Cech and Kaka.

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 an energy that can unites the world. The name of the match ball can make 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 players in every team, the 11 official languages of South Africa and the 11 South African tribes that make the country one of the most ethnologically diverse countries on the African continent.

The new “Grip’n’Groove” technology provides the best players in the world with a ball that can stable flight and perfect grip under all conditions. Comprising only eight, thermally bonded 3-D panels, that the first time are spherically moulded, the ball is 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!

The resulting of Jabulani’s test in game, were all very similar, with a lot of guys pointing out the fact that the Jabulani moves very fast and stop longer than expected. To understand what I mean when I say that putting some spin on this ball makes it move, you must try it by yourseft.

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.”

Aero Grooves Of Jabulani Create The Clearly Visible Profile On The Ball’s Surface

World Cup 2010 Ball

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

The ball was also used as the match 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 four triangular design elements on a white background. 11 different colours are used, representing the 11 players on a football team, the 11 official languages of South Africa, and the 11 South African communities.

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. For the final match that will be held in Johannesburg on 11 July, a special match ball will be used with gold panels. The name of the ball inspired by the city of Johannesburg, which is often nicknamed Jo’burg and will be the site of the 2010 Final.

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

The Jabulani is going to be every goalkeeper’s nightmare, and every striker’s greatest Christmas gift. 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 extra light ball & when you hit it clean it moves fast. In a sense, it reminds me of a plastic ball.

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.”
