FAQs
What does 'FIFA Quality' certification mean?
FIFA Quality certification indicates that the ball has undergone rigorous testing and meets the precise standards for size, weight, rebound, water absorption, and shape/size retention required for official matches.
What is the recommended age group for a Size 3 football?
Size 3 footballs are typically recommended for children aged 8 years and under.
How often should I check the ball's pressure?
It is recommended to check the ball's pressure before each use or at least once a week, especially if the ball is used frequently or exposed to varying temperatures.
Can this ball be used on artificial turf?
While FIFA Quality certification primarily focuses on grass pitch performance, the durable PU material offers some resilience. However, performance and longevity may be reduced on abrasive artificial turf compared to grass.
How do I clean the football if it gets very dirty?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the ball is air-dried afterwards.
What is the material of the football?
The football is constructed with a tough Anli Campus Vimini 1.00mm PU (Polyurethane) outer casing.
Will this ball perform well in the rain?
Yes, the Rotario is designed with low water absorption, making it suitable for use in wet conditions without becoming excessively heavy.
Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the valve for any debris. Ensure the inflation needle is properly inserted and the valve seal is intact. If the issue persists, the bladder may be damaged, and the ball may need replacement.
Ball feels unusually hard or soft
Inflate or deflate the ball to the recommended pressure using a pressure gauge. Over or under-inflation significantly impacts performance and feel.
Ball shape is distorted
Ensure the ball was not stored under heavy weight or in extreme temperatures. Try re-inflating it to the correct pressure and leaving it to settle. If the distortion is permanent, the internal structure may be compromised.
Surface scuffs or cuts
Minor scuffs can often be wiped clean. For small cuts, avoid using the ball until repaired or replaced, as they can worsen and affect playability.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The football arrives deflated. Use a standard football pump with a suitable needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure, typically indicated on the ball itself or in the product packaging. Ensure the needle is moist before insertion to prevent damage to the valve.
Compatibility: This is a Size 3 football, specifically designed for younger players aged 8 and under, or for indoor play where a smaller ball is preferred. It is FIFA Quality certified for use on grass pitches in official matches and training.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use, especially if it has been used on wet or muddy surfaces. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the ball to air dry naturally. Do not expose it to direct heat sources like radiators or excessive sunlight, as this can degrade the material and affect air retention.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects. It is best stored slightly deflated to relieve pressure on the bladder and seams.
- Inflation: Use a pressure gauge to ensure the ball is inflated to the correct PSI. Over-inflation can damage the ball, while under-inflation affects performance.
