FAQs
What is the main benefit of the moulded grooves?
The moulded grooves are designed to improve the ball's feel, weight distribution, and bounce consistency, leading to better control and predictability during play.
Is this ball suitable for professional adult matches?
This Size 4 ball is primarily designed for junior players and training. While it has FIFA Basic accreditation, professional adult matches typically require balls with higher FIFA accreditations (e.g., FIFA Quality Pro).
How often should I check the ball's pressure?
It's recommended to check the ball's pressure before each use, or at least weekly, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What does 'hybrid technology' mean in this context?
Hybrid technology refers to the combination of different manufacturing methods, such as machine stitching and bonded seams, along with advanced materials, to create a durable and high-performing ball with reduced water uptake.
Can this ball be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the machine-stitched construction with glued seams is designed for minimal moisture absorption, allowing for good performance even in wet conditions. However, always clean and dry the ball after use.
What is the weight of the Size 4 ball?
The product information specifies a weight of 410-450gsm for Size 5. While not explicitly stated for Size 4, it would be proportionally lighter, adhering to standard Size 4 regulations.
Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Ensure the pump needle is properly inserted into the valve. Check the valve for any debris and try re-inflating. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a leak and require replacement.
Ball feels misshapen or uneven
Check the inflation pressure and adjust if necessary. Ensure the ball has been stored correctly. Consistent use and proper care should help it retain its shape.
Surface scuffing or peeling
Minor scuffing is normal with use. For significant peeling, ensure the ball is not being used on excessively abrasive surfaces. Clean the ball regularly as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This football arrives deflated. Use a standard football pump with a suitable needle to inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. Avoid over-inflation, which can damage the bladder and seams. The recommended pressure is typically indicated near the valve, often between 0.4 - 0.6 bar (6-9 PSI).
Compatibility: The Samba Infiniti Pro Match Football (Size 4) is designed for use on grass pitches, artificial turf, and indoor surfaces. Its durable construction makes it suitable for regular training and match play in various environments.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and longevity:
- Wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth after use, especially if it has been played on muddy or wet surfaces. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Store the ball in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Deflate the ball slightly if storing for extended periods to help maintain its shape.
- Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage to the seams or outer material.
