World Cup 2014 Ball : watch this surprising video of the “Brazuca”, the new and official ball designed by Adidas for the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. As always for every new world cup, players from all over the world will compete with a new ball at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Named the Brazuca, adidas spent three years developing it.
