Brazuca: FIFA World Cup 2014 match ball
World cup's official football namely Brazuca comes up 3 days before the draw ceremony. Adidas, the manufacturing company claims this Brazuca is the finest football in the history and also hopes that it will able go give pure satisfaction to the football lovers and players also.
The Brazuca is named after Brazil, a famous country for football. In local language it means Brazilian or to tell specifically it means a life of Brazil. Adidas claims that this football is selected by enough test or experiments.
Adidas has provided World Cup Football since 1970. But, the football used in the last World Cup in 2010 in South Africa was criticized widely. South Africa located far above sea level. Regarding this condition, comparatively light football and the use of less thread in football brought nightmare for the players specially on goal keeper. This German- base World famous sporting goods manufacturing company is now fully confident that mistake will not happen again.
Adidas confirms that they have presented Brazuca which is going to use in Brazil World Cup, to the top 600 footballers and 30 teams of 10 different countries of 3 different continents. To do this they took almost 2 and half years. Besides, Brazuca was used in the Under-20 World Cup and international friendly match between Argentina and Sweden in last February. But in different color.
Brazilian top star defender Dani Alvez praises Brazuca by saying , "It behaves magnificently on grass or in the air. I believe that the player will love to play with this football.
