Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your football, use a standard ball pump with a lubricated needle to avoid damaging the valve. Inflate to the manufacturer's recommended pressure range. After use, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris, then store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Avoid leaving the ball in a damp kit bag for extended periods, as this can impact the longevity of the stitching.
