The official match ball of the continent's flagship football tournament has a distinct gold and blue colouring and its features are similar to the 2014
World Cup and CL balls.
The official match ball for the Africa Cup of Nations 2015 in Equatorial Guinea is Marhaba, a
joint statement from Caf and adidas announced.
The ball will be officially revealed on Wednesday,
December 3, 2014 during the draw of the final tournament at the Sipopo Convention Centre in
Malabo, the statement added.
It has a distinct gold and blue colouring, representing "the contrasting landscapes of the
continent, from the Sahara desert to the bright azure sky of the Indian and Atlantic Ocean."
The statement added: "Like its counterparts in regional and international tournaments, Marhaba has gone through a thorough testing process to
make sure that it is suited to the playing conditions during the tournament.
"The technology incorporated into the bladder and carcass of the ball is identical to the Brazuca (2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil) and the ever popular UEFA Champions League Official Match Ball.
