FAQs
Is this ball suitable for official matches?
The adidas Glider is designed as a training ball; while durable, it does not meet the specific performance standards required for professional league matches.
Does the ball come inflated?
Most retailers ship footballs deflated to prevent damage during transit. You will likely need a pump to reach the recommended pressure.
What is the size of this football?
This is a Size 5 football, which is the official standard size for adult players and youth players aged 12 and older.
Can I use this on artificial turf?
Yes, the Glider is designed to be a versatile, all-surface ball and will perform reliably on both natural grass and artificial turf.
How do I lubricate the needle?
A small amount of silicone oil or a drop of water on the needle can help it slide smoothly into the valve without damaging the seal.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for debris or a slight tear; ensure you are using a needle compatible with soccer balls and avoid over-inflation.
Surface looks scuffed after minimal use
While the material is hard-wearing, avoid using the ball on concrete or gravel as these harsh, abrasive surfaces will accelerate outer wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent air retention due to the butyl bladder
- Highly durable outer material handles everyday training wear
- Consistent flight and roll characteristics
- Stylish and highly visible pink colorway
Cons
- Not intended for professional-level competitive matches
- Limited to Size 5 dimensions
- Machine-stitched construction is less premium than thermal-bonded balls
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ball remains in top condition, inflate it to the manufacturer-recommended pressure printed around the valve area. Use a ball pump with a lubricated needle to prevent damaging the internal valve. Avoid leaving the ball in extremely hot or cold environments for extended periods, as this can affect the bladder elasticity. After playing in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the outer material.
