FAQs
What size is this football?
This is a Size 5 football, which is the standard size for adult players.
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
This ball has FIFA Quality certification, making it excellent for matches and training. However, professional top-tier matches may require balls with higher-tier FIFA Quality Pro certification.
How should I clean the football?
Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as they can damage the outer material.
What does TSBE construction mean?
TSBE stands for Thermally Bonded Seamless Technology. It means the panels are heat-bonded rather than stitched, resulting in a more consistent feel, reduced water uptake, and improved durability.
Can I use this ball in the rain?
Yes, the TSBE construction is designed to reduce water absorption, allowing for better performance even in wet conditions.
What is the bladder made of?
The bladder is made of butyl, which is known for its excellent air retention properties.
Where can I find the recommended inflation pressure?
The recommended inflation pressure is usually printed on the ball itself, near the valve. Check the ball's surface for this information.
Troubleshooting
Ball losing air quickly
Check the inflation needle for damage or debris. Ensure the valve is clean and properly sealed. If the issue persists, the bladder may be compromised and require replacement (if possible) or a new ball.
Ball feels uneven or misshapen
Deflate the ball completely and re-inflate it slowly, ensuring it takes a uniform shape. If the shape does not correct, there might be an internal issue with the bladder or construction.
Surface scuffing or peeling
Minor scuffing is normal with use on grass. For significant peeling, ensure the ball has not been used excessively on abrasive surfaces. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The football arrives deflated. Ensure you use a compatible ball pump and needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure, typically indicated on the ball itself or in the product manual. Over-inflation can damage the bladder and stitching, while under-inflation will affect performance.
Compatibility: This Size 5 football is compatible with standard adult football goal sizes and is best suited for play on natural grass pitches. While it can be used on artificial surfaces, prolonged use on rougher artificial turf may accelerate wear and tear.
Care: After use, wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grass. Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in a car boot for extended periods, especially in hot weather. Periodically check the inflation level and re-inflate as needed.
