adidas
– in conjunction with Supersport – is inviting all African football fans to
participate in choosing the appropriate name for the official matchball for
2013 AFCON tournament.
To streamline the process, adidas has shortlisted 3 names from which the public can choose. The names were taken from local South African languages as the host nation. A similar approach had been used in choosing the name for 2010 FIFA World Cup™ - Jabulani.
