5 Aralık 2013- Futbol topunun gelişimi enteresan bir süreç. FIFA'nın futbol topunun resmi sponsoru Adidas... Adidas 1970'den bu yana futbol topunun gelişimi için yaklaşık 1.8 milyar dolar para harcamış. Size Dünya kupalarında oynanan maçların resmi futbol toplarını aşağıda tanıtmaya çalışacağız.
Mexico 1970 - Telstar The iconic 32-panel ball consisting of black and white pentagons and hexagons was designed for visibility on black and white televisions.
Spain 1982 - Tango España As in 1974, there was little overt design variation of the match ball for the finals, but new waterproof seams reduced the ball picking up water and weight during games.
Mexico 1986 - Azteca The Azteca was the first fully synthetic/polyurethane-coated match ball, and was the first match ball to feature a design specifically inspired by the host nation, with its motif inspired by Aztec architecture.
Italy 1990 - Etrusca Unico Aside from the Etruscan inspired markings on the ball, the Etrusco Unico’s innovations were beneath the surface – an interior layer of black polyurethane foam to improve waterproofing and performance.
USA 1994 - Questra The stars and stripes emblazoned Questra were covered in a layer of polystyrene foam that allegedly made the ball softer to the touch and faster off the foot .
France 1998 - Tricolore The first multi-colored ball (in France’s national colors) — the Tricolore used an advanced print technology for longer-lasting visibility, as well as a new type of foam in the structure.
Korea and Japan 2002 - Fevernova Breaking from the Tango design for the first time since 1978, the Fevernova featured a similar structure as previous balls with an adjustment to the foam structure to improve flight stability.
Germany 2006 - Teamgeist The Teimgeist was a significant structural change to the ball, with a ‘propeller design’ meant to even out variations in how the ball behaved depending on where it was struck (the previous design’s seams and ridges could supposedly influence the flight of the ball if struck first).
South Africa 2010 - Jabulani The Jabulani featured a spherically molded eight panel structure that supposedly made it 'rounder' than previous balls. It also had a 'grip and groove' surface meant to give better contact with the striking boot. The same surface features in the Brazuca.
Brazil 2014 - Brazuca Whilst the technology incorporated into the bladder and carcass of the Brazuca is identical to the Euro 2012 matchball and the Uefa Champions League official match ball, a new structural innovation with a unique symmetry of six identical panels alongside a different surface structure will provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch.
FutbolEkonomi, 2010 yılından bu yana futbolun ekonomik, finansal ve yönetsel boyutlarını mercek altına alan bağımsız bir bilgi ve analiz platformudur. 2005 yılında kurulan Futbol Ekonomisi Stratejik Araştırma Merkezi (FESAM) ile aynı vizyon doğrultusunda faaliyet gösteren platformumuz, futbolu sadece saha içi bir oyun değil, çok katmanlı bir endüstri olarak ele alır.
