Make Your Own Official World Cup Ball

{ July 10, 2006 }

This is the official ball for this year’s World Cup – theadidas Teamgeist.

RM400 just for a ball..?

Why pay so much for a soccer ball that looks good? Make your own!

Yes, that’s right. For a fraction of the cost of an authentic adidas Teamgeist, I could make my very own official FIFA World Cup 2006 soccer ball. And I’m gonna show you how.

First, you’d need a regular soccer ball. Any one will do. Get a “Made In China” one at your local sports store for a cheap RM40.

Sure, it won’t last as long and the specs aren’t as good, but the improvements in the Teamgeist ball are minimal in practice you probably won’t notice it anyway.

Then you gotta spray the ball all white.

Use spray paint of ICI Dulux, whichever you prefer. Gotta have a white background before you paint the designs on later ya know?

Now comes the difficult part.

You know how the Teamgeist ball features the signature World Cup trophy-inspired ’rounded propellers’? That’s important. That’s the whole reason why so many wanted the ball in the first place.

But how do you do it?

Easy. Just get a box of Kotex, or any other brand of the same content, lol.

Stick ‘em all over your ball. As shown below..

Add drawings with a marker pen and there you go!

Let’s compare yours with the real one. Any difference? lol..

Thanks Kennysia for this nice tutorial.
