Jo'Bulani, the world cup's final match ball

FIFA have set up a special ball for the World Cup final match in 2010. Carrying the name of Jo'Bulani, the ball is the latest version of Jabulani, a gold decorated around it.

Jo'Bulani name was deliberately chosen as a respect for the City of Johannesburg, where final match will be held. The Largest city in South Africa has been also known as the 'City of Gold' and Jo'burg.

Quoted from the official FIFA website, the new ball, Tuesday (20/04/2010) officially introduced and still has the graphic patterns that represent the African continent, as encountered in Jabulani. The difference is that now the golden yellow color is more dominant.

Both Jabulani and Jo'Bulani have the latest technology known as "Grip'n'Groove". This Adidas made ball is claimed to have a stable rate and a much better grip. The ball is also claimed by the maker as the most rounded ball ever made.

Issuing a special ball for the final round is not the first time Adidas did. At the last World Cup in 2006, this German company issued a ‘Teamgeist Berlin' for the final match between France vs. Italy.
