The name of the ball was revealed on 2 September 2012. [2] It was selected by a public vote organised by the Local Organising Committee and Adidas, with over one million Brazilian football fans voting. [2] The name Brazuca was chosen with 77.8% of the vote. [4] Two other voting options were given: Bossa Nova (14.6% of the vote) and Carnavalesca (7.6% of the vote). [2] [4] The ball is a developmental successor to the Adidas Tango 12 series of balls, with the same bladder and carcass but a different surface structure. [2] [5] The ball weighs 437 grams and has a circumference of 69 centimetres. [6] The ball has been made of six polyurethane panels which have been thermally bonded; the reduction in the number of panels is claimed to increase the consistency in the ball. [2] The Brazuca ball has been stated to avoid aerodynamic problems with the Jabulani ball used in South Africa for the previous World Cup. [7] It is textured to feel more like the Adidas Finale 13, the official UEFA Champions League ball, than the Jabulani.
The Brazuca official match ball has only 6 flat parts, 12 seams and 8 joint points - but the seams do not go along the edges of the cube they go over a complex curve. This provide suitable aerodynamics and an unrivaled circular shape to the ball. Technical aspects edit Iran striker Reza Ghoochannejhad heading Adidas Brazuca in the Group F match against Argentina
