FAQs
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
The Samba Infiniti Pro Match Ball (Size 5) is FIFA Basic accredited, meaning it meets international standards for match play. It is suitable for competitive amateur and youth matches.
What is the difference between Size 4 and Size 5?
Size 5 is the standard size for adult football and is typically used by players aged 12 and above. Size 4 is generally used for younger players (ages 8-12).
How does the hybrid technology benefit the ball?
Hybrid technology combines machine stitching with glued seams. This reduces moisture absorption, helping the ball retain its shape and weight, and improves its overall durability.
Can I use this ball in wet conditions?
Yes, the ball's construction is designed for minimal moisture absorption, making it suitable for use in damp conditions. However, always allow the ball to air dry naturally afterward.
What is the weight of the Size 5 ball?
The weight for the Size 5 ball is between 410-450 grams.
How often should I check the inflation pressure?
It is recommended to check and adjust the inflation pressure before each use, especially if the ball has been stored for a period or exposed to temperature changes.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and is not blocked. Check if the valve itself is obstructed.
Ball losing air quickly
Check the valve for leaks or damage. Ensure the pump needle was not left in the valve after inflation. Re-inflate and check for slow leaks.
Ball shape is not round
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. If the shape issue persists after proper inflation, it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Poor performance or unpredictable bounce
Verify the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. Ensure the ball is clean and free from debris that could affect its flight.
