Official 2010 World Cup football: Adidas Jabulani
There is also a lot of technology put in to this ball by the sports goods manufacturing company based in Germany. They have used eight three-dimensional spherical EVA and TPU panels, combining them to make the ball perfectly round. The players who tested the ball showed great appreciation for the technology as the ball provides great accuracy and a very stable flight. The ball is not going to make things harder for the goalkeepers because it also provides better grip in all conditions.
