New Jo’bulani Ball for the Final announced today

Aside from the name, the other main difference between the Jabulani (for all other World Cup matches) and the Jo’bulani (for the final) is the colour. Where the Jabulani features 11 colours, representing the 11 languages of South Africa, the Jo’bulani is gold, reflecting both World Cup final host city Johannesburg’s “City of Gold” nickname and – presumably – the fact that gold is for champions.
