The upcoming World Cup is going to feature Adidas' Jabulani Soccer Ball (See Source 1). Officials chose to use this ball because it is the world's most round ball and provides more accuracy to players. Many experts believe that the ball should not be used because it will make players better. This is why the makers of the CTRUS C1 soccer ball chose now to reveal their creation. They believe that this soccer ball is the future and I was lucky enough to get a first glimpse at it.
What makes this soccer ball stick out is that it comes with a specially built internal positioning system. You might be wondering why a soccer ball would require such technology. The reason behind this is so that the ball can easily be tracked. This could prevent a referee from making a bad off sides call. The upstairs review staff can also better review important moments in the match to make sure unfair position is not being given to another team.
Perhaps the coolest thing is that this technology could allow it to be easier to follow the soccer ball for players and people in the crowd. The soccer ball could easily change color depending on the team that has it. You could also see the soccer ball changing color during important free kicks and throw ins by the soccer goalie. There is a lot of possibilities that come with having the ability to track where the ball is moving.
The CTRUS C1 could really change how we watch soccer. I think it would be cool to be able to better follow the ball in action. It would also be cool for players to better be able to keep an eye on the white soccer ball when it can sometimes get lost in the white color jersey of a player. Time will only tell if this ball breaks out like it should, but when it does you can say that you heard it hear first.
