.kmzThe Ball 2006 (Teamgeist) left Battersea Park in May 2006 and headed to the Opening Ceremony in Munich for the 9th June 2006. En route to Germany, The Ball 2006 explored the history of the beautiful game in the countries it visited.
Admittedly less epic than the 2002 pilgrimage, The Ball 2006 still made the most of the journey. You can follow the progress by reading the blog which developed as The Ball made its way to Germany.
The Ball 2010 is proud to support Alive & Kicking. The ball that they make is "an African ball made for the poorest African communities - the very embodiment of development through football in Africa." says James Flecker of Alive & Kicking.
The Ball 2010 plans to kick off on a 5-month, 10,000 mile pilgrimage to Johannesburg and will immerse itself in the passion and excitement of the African continent in the run up to the World Cup. We want to share those insights and experiences with a global audience.
