At FootballShirtCulture we showed you the first picture of the new Adidas World Cup 2010 Match ball called JABULANI. Now BillyBright made some pictures of the World Cup 2010 Match Ball in his local sport shop, which you can see below.
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 communities that make the country one of the most ethnologically diverse countries on the African continent.
After releasing the first specifically designed Women’s Euro match ball last week, adidas will unveil a specifically designed 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship official match ball next week.

In the meanwhile adidas has now, for the first time ever, also created a match ball specifically designed for a FIFA Confederations Cup. The name of the ball and its unusual design pay tribute to 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup hosts, South Africa.
'Kopanya' was unveiled as the Official Match Ball of the 2009 tournament in front of a roaring crowd as South Africa faced off against Africa's Indomitable Lions, Cameroon, in the annual Nelson Mandela Challenge Match.
The UEFA unveiled the new adidas TERRAPASS match ball – featuring a design inspired by the northern lights.
The new TERRAPASS match ball will be used during the UEFA European Women's Championship 2009 in Finland and which be the first UEFA European Women's Championship to boast its own match ball.
The new ball took pride of place at the WOMEN'S EURO draw at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki. The shining light blue and purple colouring and futuristic pattern which give the adidas TERRAPASS its distinct look have echoes of the aurora borealis, the natural light displays which dazzle so many tourists in the Nordic nations.
adidas hope the design honours host nation Finland, which is renowned for combining creativity with tradition as well as innovative product design.
