The name of the World Cup 2010 ball is "Jabulani". The EXACT SAME ball (called match ball) that the teams use is $150 (and worth every penny, I have one). The replica ball is only $30 and isn't really a good ball. Please see the related link. They will have a better description of each ball. I recommend the match ball.

The Brazilian government estimated that costs reached upward of USD $14 billion, with FIFA spending an additional USD $2 billion on staging the final match between Germany and Argentina.
This made the 2014 FIFA World Cup the most expensive staging of the international tournament in history, followed by the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany at USD $6 billion.
Fifa make £1,200,000,000 per year from sponsors, television, world cups, games, occosiations, etc. They are one of the richest companies in the world
Soccer players are like any other athletes. Their pay depends on how good of a player they are, what club they play for, and how much money that club actually has to pay him.
