Football governing body, Fifa has delivered the special balls to be used during the World Cup in Brazil to the 32 participating countries including Nigeria.

The official website of Fifa has reported that  Brazuca, the name of the ball, produced by kit giants Adidas took around two and a half years to produce and it was tested by 600 players and 30 professional and national teams across 10 countries.

More than a million Brazilian fans voted before arriving at the name Brazuca.

This is the first time in the history of the competition that fans have voted for the name of the match ball.

The players participating at the mundial will have more than six months to test the ball which has already been endorsed by the likes of Leo Messi, Dani Alves, Iker Casillas and Steven Gerrard.
