The Fevernova has an extremely colorful design that is tailored to Asian culture in terms of appearance and color . In addition, since 1978 it has been the first FIFA match ball with a different design than the Tango design : The syntactic foam layer of the Fevernova is connected to a three-layer polymer fabric, which should ensure a more precise and more predictable trajectory. At the same time, it was the last World Cup ball, which consisted of twelve pentagons and 20 hexagons, which corresponds to the traditional structure of a football.

The ball was officially unveiled at the 2002 World Cup final draw in Busan on November 30, 2001.

The ball was especially notorious among goalkeepers because it gave a "fluttering" impression, developed an allegedly unpredictable trajectory and Fevernova was therefore held responsible for some spectacular goals during the tournament.

The Fevernova balls were made in Sialkot , Pakistan .
