Description
Even though the laceless construction had been invented at the beginning of the thirties, we had to wait more than a decade until it became accepted world wide and appeared in the World Cup, following the approval of FIFA. Just like the Globe and Tiento balls from the previous World Cups, the Superball also consisted of 12 identical panels but the edges of these panels were more curved. It may sound strange but the Superball was the only World Cup ball until the arrival of the Adidas Brazuca in 2014 that consisted of identical panels. (The Brazuca consisted of 6 identical panels.)
Condition: brand new
Size: 5
Material: high quality cow leather
Panel structure: 12 panels with valve (this was the first ball with valve in World Cup history)
Type of the ball: this ball comes from the pre-adidas historical match ball set, it is the exact reproduction of the original Superballs as used at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil
