The ball used during the second half of the 1930 FIFA World Cup final.

The issue of which side would provide the match ball was a point of contention, but a compromise was reached whereby each side would provide a ball for one half.

The Uruguayans were trailing 2-1 at the break, but would go on to score three unanswered goals using their own ball in the second half, becoming the inaugural World Cup champions.
