FAQs
What age group is this Size 5 football for?
Size 5 is the standard size for players aged 12 and up, including youth and adult players.
How do I keep the ball inflated for longer?
Ensure the valve is properly sealed after inflation and store the ball in a temperate environment. Check for any small punctures or valve issues if it consistently loses air.
Can I use this ball on artificial turf?
Yes, the Nike Pitch Team Football is designed for use on various surfaces, including grass and artificial turf.
What material is the ball made of?
The ball is made from 60% Rubber, 15% Polyurethane, 13% Polyester, and 12% EVA.
How should I clean the football?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the ball in water.
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the football typically arrives deflated and needs to be inflated before use.
What is the main difference between this and a professional ball?
This ball is designed for everyday play and durability. Professional balls often feature more advanced materials and construction for enhanced aerodynamics, touch, and match-specific performance.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve. Check that the valve itself is clear of debris and not damaged. If the valve is stiff, a small amount of water or saliva can be used as lubrication.
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for any leaks or damage. Ensure the valve cap is securely in place after inflation. Minor leaks can sometimes be sealed by re-inflating and leaving the ball in water to spot the source of the leak.
Ball feels uneven or misshapen
Deflate the ball slightly and then re-inflate it to the correct pressure. Ensure it is inflated evenly. If the shape issue persists, the internal bladder or casing may be damaged.
Casing appears worn or scuffed
This is typical wear and tear from regular use. Clean the ball with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, gentle polishing might slightly improve appearance, but the primary function remains unaffected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This football typically arrives deflated. Use a standard football pump with a needle adapter to inflate it to the recommended pressure, usually indicated on the ball itself or in accompanying packaging. Do not over-inflate.
Compatibility: Size 5 is the official size for adult and youth players aged 12 and up. It is suitable for use on grass, artificial turf, and other standard football playing surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the casing.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is properly inflated but not over-inflated to maintain its shape.
- Avoidance: Do not leave the ball in a car trunk for extended periods, especially in hot weather, as this can affect the bladder and casing. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
