One World Futbol

It is made with a specialized foam, related to the material used to make Crocs shoes, that allows the ball to re-inflate after being punctured.

[citation needed] The One World Futbol was conceived by Tim Jahnigen of Berkeley, California after he watched a documentary that featured children in Darfur playing with soccer balls made of trash.

He brought up the idea while speaking with the musician Sting, who gave Jahnigen research and development funding for the ball.

[3] In May 2012, Chevrolet announced a sponsorship agreement in which the company would purchase and donate one and a half million One World Futbols.

[1] Tim Jahnigen stated that he intends to eventually manufacture a version of every inflated sports ball using the damage resistant foam.
