World
is in fever of FIFA football world cup the biggest event of football on planet
earth. The month-long tournament, already kicked on June 12, has 32 of the
world’s best sides locking horns in the most watched event in sports. The knockout stage is already over after bringing fame and respect for many players in the field. In couple
of days the semi finals phase would be started with lots of smart moves, best
kicking and marvelous goals. This world cup is famous for many things including
the modern technologies, amazing arts, latest stadiums and the last but not the
least the Brazuca (football).
The
FIFA World Cup match ball is the icon of the tournament as the focus of every
goal, every play and every touch. Brazuca was named in September 2012 following
a public vote in Brazil involving 1 million soccer fans. The name “brazuca” is
a casual local term which means “Brazilian,” or to describe the Brazilian way
of life. The colors and ribbon design of the ball panels symbolize the
traditional parti-colored aspiration bracelets worn in the country in addition
to reflecting the vibrancy and fun associated with soccer in Brazil. The
brazuca is a breakthrough innovation built for every player on the field. The
Brazuca features a striking new design and new panel system. Six identical
interlocking panels make up the ball’s synthetic surface, thermally bonded to
keep out moisture.

It
is a matter of honor for every Pakistani that made in Pakistan football is
always a ball of choice for the world class football clubs, players and the
FIFA world cup. Pakistan
may be known as a cricketing nation but not many know that the soccer balls for
the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Brazil will be imported from the 159th-ranked
football nation. Sialkot, a town in eastern Pakistan, was once the unassailable
soccer ball production capital of the world exporting about 30 million balls a
year, an estimated 40 percent of global production. 60
million hand stitched footballs are made each year in Sialkot and sold to
companies like Adidas and Nike and Reebok. And you’d better believe they are
the best because this year, FIFA has placed an order to forward Sports in
Sialkot to make the official football for the FIFA World Cup 2014. In
December 2013, Brazil unveiled the latest soccer ball for the 2014 edition “the
Brazuca” on the official FIFA World Cup website. When Akhtar (the head of
company) heard last autumn that Adidas' Chinese supplier for the World Cup
couldn't keep up with mandate, he instantly invited the executives to his plant
in Sialkot. Although the first impression was not an impressive one but his
efforts make it possible to get attention and then offer from the FIFA
officials.

The
brazuca’s thorough two and a half year analysis process tangled more than 600
of the world’s top players and 30 teams in 10 countries across three
continents, making it the most tested ball ever by adidas. Lionel Messi, Iker Casillas,
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Zinedine Zidane, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Palmeiras and
Fluminese were among the top athletes and clubs who tested brazuca. The ball
was also tested in competitive international matches at the FIFA U-20 World Cup
with a different print design and in a friendly match between Sweden and Argentina
in February 2013.All these efforts make the Brazuca the most amazing ball of
the world cup history.
