FIFA has distributed a total of 800 new Adidas balls to the participating teams at the 2014 World Cup with Ghana set to receive its quota of 25 ahead of the tournament.
Each of the 32 qualified teams for next year’s event to be staged in Brazil is entitled to 25 of the new balls called ‘Brazuca’.
The ‘Brazuca’ is the new official ball manufactured by Adidas to be used at the World Cup.
The balls have been released to all the qualified teams in order for the players to get used to it before the tournament starts on June 12, 2014.
The balls will be used by the qualified teams during their friendly matches in preparation for the tournament which is now a little over six months away to kickoff.
The ‘Brazuca’ was first unveiled a day before the final draw for the World Cup held on December 6 in Bahia.
The new ball is said to have enhanced technical features geared towards making players enjoy playing the game of football.
The ‘Bazuca’ replaces the ‘Jabulani’ used at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
