FAQs
What size is this football?
This is a size 5 football, which is the standard size for players aged 12 and above.
Is this ball suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, the durable TPU cover is designed to perform well in both dry and wet conditions.
How do I clean the football?
Clean the ball with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'FIFA Official Testing' mean for this ball?
It means the ball has undergone and passed rigorous tests by FIFA for key performance indicators like durability, bounce, water absorption, and roundness, ensuring it meets high-quality standards.
How often should I check the ball's inflation?
It is recommended to check the inflation before each use or at least weekly, especially if the ball is used frequently. The butyl bladder offers good air retention, but regular checks ensure optimal performance.
Can this ball be used for professional matches?
While it meets FIFA official standards and is suitable for high-level play, it is described as a training ball. For professional match play, specific FIFA Quality Pro balls might be preferred, but this ball offers excellent quality for serious training and competitive games.
What is the benefit of the yarn-winded butyl bladder?
The yarn-winding reinforces the butyl bladder, significantly improving its air retention capabilities and helping the ball maintain its shape and pressure over time.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate properly
Ensure the inflation needle is correctly inserted into the valve. Check if the needle is wet or lubricated. If the valve is blocked, try gently clearing it with a thin, non-sharp object.
Ball loses air quickly
Check for any visible punctures or damage to the cover or seams. Ensure the valve is sealing correctly; re-inflate and check again after a few hours. If the issue persists, the bladder may need replacement.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Inflate or deflate the ball to the recommended pressure specified on the ball. Use a pressure gauge to ensure accuracy.
Ball shape seems distorted
Ensure the ball is properly inflated. If the shape is permanently distorted from over-inflation or improper storage, it may not regain its original roundness.
