ADIDAS and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) presented a newly designed official match ball, the Adidas ‘Comoequa’, for the 2012 Orange African Cup of Nations.
The name is coined from the Como River which runs through both host nations – Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, as well as the Equator which runs throughout Africa and unites both host nations.The Adidas Comoequa features a bright yellow base colour inspired by the vibrancy of African culture, and links to the flags of both tournament hosts – Gabon and Equatorial Guinea through colour markings on the central triangular panels a spokesman told Supersport.Adidas leverages its marketing rights with CAF by providing the tournament with the official matchball. This is important for the Germans especially considering how strongly rival Puma has been doing on the continent in terms of both jersey sales and outfitting National teams and clubs.Each Afcon bound team has been issued the ball and feedback is still pending. – supersport.com.na
