The 2014 World Cup ball with six propeller-shaped panels.

Brazuca is a Brazilian slang word for Brazilians and for the pride of being one. The ball had only six panels and longer seams than its predecessor.

Adidas tested it with players in several countries. It behaved in a more predictable way than the Jabulani.

Materials: Synthetic material with a textured surface

Manufacture: Made by Adidas for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The six long, twisted panels.

The colourful bands in the pattern.

The name Brazuca.
