Although China has failed to qualify for this year's World Cup, the country's products will be on full display in Brazil.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup official soccer ball, named "Brazuca", was developed and made in China, nandu.com reported on Thursday.

Longway, a company based in the city of Shenzhen, south China, has kept partnership with Adidas since 1997, and also made the 2010 World Cup official ball, "Jabulani".

Thirty football clubs from across the globe help test out "Brazuca" over the past two-and-a-half years before it became the official ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

"Brazuca" is made from only six rubber bladders to increase its symmetry and efficiency.
