A historical ball set of all World Cup matchballs since 1970 is currently on display at the Waterfront. Adidas will also unveil the two giant matchballs at the entrance to the Waterfront and behind the Amphitheatre at 20h00 on Friday, just after the World Cup Draw. “The World Cup is a once in a lifetime opportunity for South Africans to shine and as adidas we want to show our commitment to this event by producing a ball that reflects who we are as South African’s,” adds Bradley Stern. The new matchball is expected to have a uniquely South African name and design.
