What happens to a world cup ball after the game?

I noticed that each ball in the 2010 world cup has both teams of the match printed near the FIFA logo. What happens to the ball, post match? Does the winning team get to keep it? Is it donated?

    How can you win?

    Just answer our quiz questions correctly and you could win this one-of-a-kind Official Match Ball. Each winner will receive their special, used Kick-off Ball with a certificate of authenticity following the conclusion of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Kick-off Balls of the Opening and Final Match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup will not be given away. Instead, the quiz winners of these two matches will receive a Jabulani football that was used during these aforementioned matches.
