adidas and the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF)
on Wednesday, 26 November 2014 presented Marhaba, the Official Match
Ball for the Orange Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinea 2015.
Marhaba,
will be officially revealed on Wednesday, 3 December 2014 during the
draw of the final tournament at the Sipopo Convention Centre in Malabo.
Taking
inspiration from the intricate history of the tournament and its
famously passionate fans, the ball was designed in collaboration with
the Confédération Africaine de Football.
The distinctive gold and blue colouring on the ball represents the
contrasting landscapes of the continent, from the Sahara desert to the
bright azure sky of the Indian and Atlantic Ocean.
Like
its counterparts in regional and international tournaments, Marhaba has
gone through a thorough testing process to make sure that it is suited
to the playing conditions during the tournament. The technology
incorporated into the bladder and carcass of the ball is identical to
the Brazuca (2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil) and the ever popular UEFA
Champions League™ Official Match Ball.
The
Official Match Ball for the Orange Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial
Guinea 2015, is available to buy at selected adidas retail outlets and
associated stockists from Monday, 1 December 2014.
