FAQs
Does this ball come with a pump?
No, the Mitre Flare 2024 is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or inflation needle.
Is this a match-quality ball?
The Mitre Flare 2024 is designed as a versatile ball suitable for both training sessions and amateur matches.
Can I use this ball on concrete or street surfaces?
While it is designed for grass and artificial turf, it can be used on other surfaces, though the abrasive nature of concrete will accelerate wear on the polyester panels.
What size is this ball?
This is a standard Size 5 football, which is the official size for adult matches.
How do I store the ball during the off-season?
Keep it in a temperature-controlled environment, ideally slightly deflated, to prevent unnecessary tension on the stitches over long periods.
Troubleshooting
Ball losing air pressure
Check the valve for debris or use a small amount of silicone-based oil to lubricate the valve stem, then ensure the needle was inserted correctly.
Visible dirt build-up in seams
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, followed by a light wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since the ball arrives deflated, you will need a standard needle pump to prepare it for the pitch. When inflating, avoid over-pressurizing, as this can strain the stitching; aim for the recommended PSI indicated on the valve area. To maintain the ball, wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to remove mud or turf infill, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving the ball in a hot car trunk, as extreme temperatures can affect the integrity of the polyester materials.
