FAQs
What does 'FIFA QUALITY' certification mean for this ball?
FIFA QUALITY certification means the ball has undergone rigorous testing and meets the highest international standards for weight, circumference, roundness, rebound, water absorption, and shape/size retention, ensuring it's suitable for official match play.
Is this ball suitable for all weather conditions?
The Rotario is designed with low water absorption and is tested for adaptability to British weather, performing well in rain. However, for extremely waterlogged pitches or prolonged heavy downpours, performance might be affected compared to specialized all-weather balls.
What is the recommended pressure for this football?
Refer to the inflation guide printed on the ball itself for the precise recommended pressure. Generally, it should be inflated to withstand a firm kick without losing its shape.
How durable is the outer material?
The ball features a tough Anli Campus Vimini 1.00mm PU outer, which is designed for durability through demanding training sessions and regular matches.
What is the advantage of the HR polyester wound bladder?
The HR polyester wound bladder is designed for optimal air retention, meaning the ball will stay inflated for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent top-ups.
Can I use this ball on artificial turf?
While designed for natural grass, the durable construction allows for use on modern artificial turf pitches. However, frequent use on abrasive surfaces may lead to increased wear on the outer material.
What size is this football?
This is a Size 5 football, which is the standard regulation size for senior players and official matches.
Troubleshooting
Ball will not inflate
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the valve itself is clear of debris. Check that the pump is functioning correctly.
Ball losing air quickly
Inspect the valve for damage or debris. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a slow leak. Ensure the ball is not over-inflated, which can stress the bladder.
Ball shape is distorted
Ensure the ball has been inflated to the correct pressure and has maintained it. If distorted after prolonged use or improper storage, it may be difficult to fully restore.
Surface appears scuffed after initial use
Minor scuffing can occur with normal play on abrasive surfaces. Ensure the playing surface is reasonably clear of sharp debris. Clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The football arrives deflated. Use a standard ball pump with a suitable needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure, typically indicated on the ball itself or within the product packaging. Avoid over-inflation.
Compatibility: This Size 5 ball is regulation size for senior players and matches according to FIFA standards. It is compatible with all standard football boots and playing surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the PU material.
- Drying: If the ball becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Do not leave it in direct sunlight for extended periods or place it near direct heat sources, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is properly inflated (or slightly deflated if storing for a very long period) to help maintain its shape. Avoid storing it under heavy objects.
