Brazuka, the official 2014
FIFA World Cup match ball was unveiled on 3 December 2013 by manufacturers Adidas
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The
ball is called the 'Brazuca' after a public vote by more than one million
football fans in the host nation Brazil. Brazuca
is an informal local term which means "Brazilian", or relating to a
Brazilian way of life.
The
ball was named Brazuca in September 2012 following a public vote in Brazil
involving one million football fans. The colours of the ball reflect those of
the Brazilian flag and tournament logo, while the design is a representation of
the colourful wristbands that Brazilians often wear.
The
ball, the successor to the Adidas Jabulani used at the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa, has already been tested in competitive international
matches, at the Under-20s World Cup, with a different print design, and in the
friendly between Sweden and Argentina in February 2014.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the 20th FIFA World Cup, an
international men's football tournament, tournament is scheduled to be held in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July
2014.
