GOLDENBALLS.

+Teamgeist "Berlin"

The ADIDAS "+Teamgeist Berlin" (the Goldenball) is the special edition match ball designed for the final match of the World Cup. This will be the ONE & ONLY match that this ball will be used in. The special match ball design is similar to the regular adidas +Teamgeist used in all earlier matches, but executed in gold, like the trophy, with black and white details. The name "+Teamgeist Berlin", translates to "team spirit", suffixed with the name of the German capital where the final will be played on July 9th.

Replicas of this special ball will be released at limited stores in limited quantities after the final.

The regular '+Teamgeist' ball is shown below and we're sure Heidi is explaining how it's supposedly the most advanced football ever produced, using only 14 panels instead of the normal 26 or 32 to give a much smoother surface and more spherical shape.
