We're jetting off to Europe to see the unveiling of Official Match Ball – the most important entity at the World Cup next year – find out how it was created and what we can expect from the glamour bladder that will have the world watching come June.

Official and more specific details of ball are on hold until the World Cup finals draw on 5 December, where we'll be able to provide exclusive in-depth details and pictures of the ball. That will be followed up by a full feature in the February issue of Australian FourFourTwo magazine (out 6th January).

However while on location in Germany we'll be twittering some exclusive behind-scenes information ahead of the official unveiling of spherical hero of the biggest sporting event in the world next month.

Watch out for a news story from the event next week and follow our live and exclusive tweets from Germany here.
