The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be starting in less than two days. No. I rarely watch football and I’m not a big fan (not even a small one). It’s just that I read something about it on GeekDad and this Jabulani caught my attention.
If you think Jabulani is a famous player, well, you’re wrong. The Adidas Jabulani is the official ball that is used for all the world cup matches. It means “to celebrate” in Zulu, a South African language. The thing that interests me is that it is the first aerodynamically engineered soccer ball that “required over six years of wind tunnel research.” Aerodynamically engineered. Yeah. (Actually, it just sounds cool to me.)
Anyway, here is an awesome video of how Jabulani balls are made.
