adidas
unveils BRAZUCa: THE OFFICIAL MATCH BALL OF THE 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™
Design of brazuca inspired by vibrant colours, passion and heritage of
Brazil
oOn 4th December 2013 adidas unveiled brazuca, the official 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ match ball. The ball
was revealed with a spectacular 3D light projection launch event held at the
iconic Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro.
‘brazuca’ was named back in September 2012 following a public
vote in Brazil involving 1 million football fans; the name ‘brazuca’ is an informal
local term which means ‘Brazilian’, or to describe the Brazilian way of life. The
colours and ribbon design of the ball panels symbolise the traditional multi-coloured
wish bracelets worn in the country (fita do Senhor
do Bonfim da Bahia), in addition to reflecting the vibrancy and fun associated
with football in Brazil.
‘brazuca’ went through a thorough testing process over a two and a half
year period involving more than 600 of the world’s top players and 30 teams in
10 countries across three continents, making it the most tested ball ever by
adidas and ensuring that it is suited to all conditions.
Clubs involved in testing included AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Palmeiras and Fluminese. Players involved in the process included global football stars Leo Messi, Iker Casillas, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Zinedine Zidane.
The ball has already been tested in competitive international matches at the FIFA U-20 World Cup™ with a different print design, and was also used in a friendly match between Sweden and Argentina in February 2013.

The technology incorporated into the bladder and carcass of ‘brazuca’
is identical to the Tango 12 (UEFA Euro 2012™), Cafusa (FIFA Confederations Cup
2013) and the ever popular UEFA Champions League™ Official Match Ball.
However, a new structural innovation with a unique symmetry of six identical panels alongside a different surface structure will provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch. brazuca has been thoroughly tested to meet and exceed all FIFA metrics for an official match ball, ensuring top performance for every condition.

Brazilian star Dani Alves said: "My first impression of
brazuca is of a ball that is fantastic and we’re going to have a lot of fun
with it. adidas has created an incredible-looking ball fitting for a tournament
as big as the FIFA World Cup.
Most importantly it plays well on the ground and in the air. I'm sure all the players will love it. It's increased my levels of excitement even further and I honestly cannot wait for the opening game!”

FIFA World Cup™ winning Spanish captain Iker Casillas said: ”brazuca
has a stunning design that feels inspired by Brazil. Now the ball has been
launched the tournament feels a lot closer. I’m looking forward to playing in
Brazil with a great ball. Hopefully with ‘brazuca’ we can get the same result
as in 2010.”
