Adidas has unveiled the brazuca Final Rio Official Match Ball, the official match ball for the Final of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.
The design of brazuca Final Rio has been inspired by the green and gold on the FIFA World Cup Trophy and is a variation of the previously released Adidas brazuca Official Match Ball, which was launched in December last year
At the time of the launch, Adidas delivered brazucas to all teams that had qualified for Brazil 2014, in order for every team to have sufficient time to practise with the new balls both in training and in competitive matches.
Following on from the heavily criticised Jabulani in South Africa, the science inside the new ball has now been revealed to show how the best players in the world will have the perfect tool on the pitch.
Adidas came under fire four years ago for the unpredictability of their ball, with goalkeepers especially unimpressed.
Michael Carrick compared it to a 'beach ball', Daniel Agger said it made players 'look like drunken sailors' and Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar claimed it was 'like a ball from a supermarket'.
