Fevernova
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fevernova was the official match ball of 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. Manufactured by Adidas, it breaks the traditional Tango ball designs.
"The adidas Fevernova™ was the first World Cup Match Ball since 1978 to part from the traditional Tango design introduced in 1978. The colorful and revolutionary look and color usage was entirely based on Asian culture. The Fevernova™ featured a refined syntactic foam layer to give the ball superior performance characteristics and a three-layer, knitted chassis, allowing for a more precise and predictable flight path every time." [1]
This ball was very criticised for being too light yet some spectacular goals were scored with it during the tournament. The ball was also blamed for a number of upsets that happened in the knockout stages.
The Fevernova was made in India and Pakistan.
