FAQs
What is the best way to inflate the football?
Use a standard football pump with a suitable needle. Ensure the needle is lubricated and insert it gently into the valve. Inflate to the recommended pressure, typically found printed on the ball.
What does 'Supplied Deflated' mean?
This means the football will arrive empty of air. You will need to inflate it yourself using a pump before it can be used.
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
The Orbita 7 MS is designed primarily for recreation and training. While it is officially licensed, professional matches typically require balls that meet specific FIFA quality standards, which may differ.
How should I clean the football?
Wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as they can damage the material over time.
What is the expected lifespan of this football?
With proper care, including correct inflation and storage, the ball should last through many seasons of recreational play and training. However, lifespan depends heavily on frequency and intensity of use.
Can this ball be used in wet conditions?
The TPU material offers some resistance to moisture, but it is best to dry the ball thoroughly after playing in wet conditions to prevent damage and prolong its life.
What is the difference between Size 3, 4, and 5 footballs?
Size 3 is the smallest, typically for younger children (under 8). Size 4 is for older children (8-12), and Size 5 is the standard adult size, suitable for players aged 12 and up.
Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the valve for any debris and ensure the pump needle is properly inserted. If the issue persists, the valve may be faulty, and you may need to replace the ball.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Adjust the inflation pressure using a pump and pressure gauge. Refer to markings on the ball for recommended PSI.
Stitching appears to be coming loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed, but significant loosening indicates a potential manufacturing defect. Cease use if structural integrity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This football is supplied deflated. You will need a football pump with a suitable needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure, which is typically indicated on the ball itself. Ensure the needle is lubricated before insertion to prevent damage to the valve.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on grass, artificial turf, and other standard football playing surfaces. Size 3 is best suited for younger players aged under 8, or as a smaller training ball.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and longevity:
- Clean: Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Store: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store it in a deflated state for extended periods, as this can affect its shape.
- Inflate: Regularly check and maintain the correct inflation pressure. Over-inflation can strain the stitching and panels, while under-inflation affects performance and can lead to premature wear.
