Infamous Jabulani could return with ball that caused mayhem at 2010 World Cup recently seen selling for £415
ADIDAS could re-release the infamous Jabulani football, according to reports.
The Jabulani was memorably used in the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa.
It is best remembered for violently swerving and dipping, with many players struggling to master it.
According to Footy Headlines, the Jabulani could go back on sale in the coming years.
They point to the fact that Adidas have been re-releasing iconic footballs from the 2000s.
The Roteiro used at Euro 2004 was re-released back in March.
While the Teamgeist used at the 2006 World Cup in Germany is set to return in March 2025.
Footy Headlines reckon that if this trend continues, the Jabulani could make its return in 2026 or 2027.
The original version can sometimes be found on various resale sites for as much as £415 – more than four times its price upon release.
Its unusual design is what made it so difficult for players to predict.

The Teamgeist used at the previous World Cup, for example, was built with a 14-panel structure – while the Jabulani consisted of just eight panels.
One player who did master it was Uruguay‘s former Manchester United star Diego Forlan.
The forward, who has dabbled with a career in tennis since retirement, lit up the tournament, scoring several brilliant goals as his country reached the semi-finals.
They went on to lose 3-2 to the Netherlands in the semis, however, with the Dutch then falling 1-0 in the final courtesy of Andres Iniesta’s winner for Spain.

Max Verstappen vs Lando Norris: F1 star has James Bond car collection and dates Brazil beauty but rival to inherit £205m
MAX VERSTAPPEN and Lando Norris are going head-to-head in the F1 Drivers’ World Championship.
This weekend, the motorheads face off against each other at the United States Grand Prix.
Young pretender Norris, 24, trails the current world champion by 52 points with just six rounds remaining.
The Bristol-born driver can’t afford any slips as he aims to close the gap at the top.
Away from the track, the pair live glam lives you would expect from two of the world’s best boy racers.
Verstappen, worth a reported £165million, has splashed his cash on a £5million car collection and boasts a stunning partner in Brazilian beauty, Kelly Piquet.
While playboy Norris, the heir to a £205million fortune, enjoys a jet-set life and has dated a string of the world’s most beautiful women.
SunSport compares the champ and the challenger’s lifestyles.
Money, money, money
One thing the two aren’t short of is money.
Since making his debut in F1 in 2015, Verstappen has established himself as the highest paid driver on the circuit.
In 2022, he signed a five-year deal with Red Bull, described as one of the most lucrative in the history of the sport.
According to reports his contract is worth £45million a year, and is likely to increase if his winning streak continues.
Max also benefits from endorsement deals from brands like G-Star RAW, Red Bull and EA Sports.
The Dutch driver also has his own MV merchandise company, selling caps, clothing and accessories.
Back in 2022, Norris inked a longterm deal with McLaren that will keep him with the team till 2026.
It is believed to be worth around £15million-per-year, which puts him behind Verstappen by some way.
However, he was born into wealth as the second child of businessman Adam Norris, who boasts a £205million fortune.
He grew up in Glastonbury, Somerset with his older brother Oliver and younger sisters Flo and Cisca, and went to nearby Millfield public school, where boarding fees cost more than £40,000 a year.
Fast cars
F1 drivers are renowned for their incredible car collections.
And Max Verstappen’s garage would leave some with envy.
After becoming the youngest ever racer to score a podium finish at the Spanish Grand Prix, aged just 18, Max splashed out on a Porsche 911 GTS R3 worth around £190,000.
His car collection has been heavily inspired by James Bond – he owns a 007-type Aston Martin DB11, a follow-up to the DB10, driven in the movie Spectre that cost around £200,000.
Alongside a 2018 Vantage and a DBS Superleggerais, Verstappen also reportedly bought an Aston Martin Valkyrie that carries a price tag of £2.2million.
Astonishingly, various reports say that Norris doesn’t own a car.
As is one of the perks of the job, McLaren has loaned him several over the years.
Speaking to Scott Mills and Chris Stark on their BBC Sounds podcast, however, he confessed he is not materialistic.
Lando said: “I don’t own many things. I’ve not really treated myself.”

Ladies’ men
Notoriously, F1 drivers are linked to the world’s most beautiful women.
Verstappen is in a longterm romance with Brazilian model Kelly Piquet.
They began dating in 2020, and have been inseparable since – reportedly living in Monte Carlo together.
She is the daughter of Nelson Piquet, who won three world titles in the 1980s with Brabham.
Kelly was previously in a romance with former Russian F1 star Daniil Kvyat, who she shares a daughter with.
Norris is currently single, after splitting with Portuguese supermodel Margarida Corceiro.
The break-up came months after he joked he had “many girlfriends” during a lie detector test for a Sky Sports segment.
A source told The Sun: “”Lando and Margarida had a fun time together and hung out a lot. But it wasn’t working out so they cooled off. He’s free and single and just wants to focus on his sport.”
Before Margarida, he dated another Portuguese beauty Luisinha Oliveira.
However, she suffered death threats, forcing Lando to say: “Whether it’s about my personal life, me and my girlfriend, especially the amount of hate pages dedicated to Luisa now, it is pretty horrific.
“They are on Instagram and Twitter, they are the main ones.”
Jet set
According to reports, Verstappen lives in a £13million apartment overlooking the Mediterranean sea.
Norris also moved to Monaco, admittedly for financial reasons, where many of his F1 rivals call home.
Verstappen shared glimpses of his home during the coronavirus pandemic, which he and Kelly also share with their two Bengal cats, Jimmy and Sass.
In his spare time he likes to take the water on a Red Bull-branded jet ski, said to be worth around £16,000.
For all his travels around the world, Max is said to have bought a Falcon-900EX private jet from Sir Richard Branson, worth £12million, which costs over £830,000 to maintain.
Norris also loves to fly privately, sometimes bringing along his DJ decks – his favourite pastime – along for the ride.
His need for speed is also fuelled by watersports like water-skiing.
While both boast similarities in their lives, only one can be the next world champion. So, who will it be?
I’m more than a social media sensation & OnlyFans star, I’m a real UFC fighter who deserves respect, says Alice Ardelean
ALICE ARDELEAN built a massive following on social media as she cut her teeth outside of the UFC.
But it wasn’t the sole reason she got the call to finally compete in mixed martial arts’ premier promotion at UFC 304 this past July.
The Romanian rattled off a six-fight win streak – in which she claimed two world titles – before reaching the promised land of MMA.
But detractors and trolls deemed her not worthy of a spot in the promotion after her split decision defeat to Shauna Bannon in a fight many experts believe she won.
The Fearless MMA standout was branded by some as nothing more than a “social media and OnlyFans star,” despite her having won titles outside of the UFC.
Ardelean happily embraces being a jack of all trades and how she’s built her following, although she wants fans to know she’s much more than meets the social media eye.
“I’m known for what I am,” she told SunSport. “I am doing social media, I’m doing fighting, I’m shaking my ass. I’m I am what I am.
“Call me whatever you want or whatever you think I am. I don’t care. I know what I am.
“I’m everything, you know. I don’t care.
“I’m not gonna say, ‘Oh, yeah, I want people to know me for the fight.’ But I’m not just the fighter.

“I started with fighting like 14 years ago. And, I worked hard to get to where I am.
“But at the same time on the side, I did social media and I did OnlyFans and I did all of that. I don’t care.
“People can call me whatever. Yeah, I’m a model. Call me a model as well. Yeah, I’m a fighter as well.
“Yeah, I’m a TikToker as well. All, all of that, like I don’t mind, I don’t mind”
Having a massive social media following opens people up to comments from the dregs of society, which Ardelean has become an expert at filtering out.
She said: “I choose to waste my energy on better things than thinking [about what people say].
“I don’t even know any random guy or girl on the internet that said I’m a model would think.
“Because if in their eyes I’m a model, then that’s what I am. Okay, cool. Move on with your life.
“I’m just gonna go to fight.
“And after the fight, I’m gonna post on TikTok and after the TikTok, I’m gonna go post a video to my OnlyFans fans and this is me.”
Ardelean will be hoping to share a series of celebratory and hilarious post-fight social media posts after her UFC Vegas 99 showdown with Melissa Martinez early on Sunday morning.
But unlike her Manchester melee with Bannon, she’ll have the benefit of a full training camp behind her for her Sin City showdown with the former LFA star.
She said: “I would say this is my real UFC debut in that sense. Because I’m super fit [and] my weight’s low.
“I also came to the States state for the past for the last part of my camp to get used to the food, heat and all of that.
“I had a great team here in Orlando at Fusion X-Cel. Julian Williams, as head coach, and everybody there was helping me so much.
“I’m super confident in this time [around].”
On her match-up with the returning Martinez – who hasn’t fought in over two years – Ardelean said: ” She’s a great striker, I’m not gonna lie.
“She’s a great striker. I think it’s a great matchup as well. Hopefully, we’re gonna have a super nice fight.”
Alice Ardelean takes on Melissa Martinez at UFC® FIGHT NIGHT: HERNANDEZ VS PEREIRA on Saturday, October 19.
