The History of The World Cup Balls

6 Jun 2010  6 Comments


The New York Times has an interactive page showing the evolution of the World Cup over time.

An interesting fact is that in the 1930 world cup final, they used 2 balls for each half. The first half Argentina played with its ball and were leading 2-1 by the end of the half. The second half Uruguay used a slightly larger/firmer ball and ended up wining 4-2.

    I would imagine it would have been made out of 100% leather, cows leather maybe. It might have been more organic than modern day burgers :/
