FAQs
Is this ball suitable for professional matches?
While it is a size 5 ball, its design focuses on official branding and durability for fans and training. It may not meet the specific performance standards required for professional match play.
What is the ball made of?
The ball is made from synthetic material.
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the ball is supplied deflated and will require inflation before use.
How do I inflate the ball?
You will need a standard ball pump with a needle. Insert the needle into the valve and pump until the ball reaches the desired firmness.
What does 'Printed Player Signatures' mean?
This means that signatures of players are printed onto the surface of the ball, rather than being hand-signed.
What is the width of the ball?
The product details state the width is 69cm. This measurement likely refers to the circumference of the ball.
How should I clean the ball?
Clean the ball using only a damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh cleaning agents or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Check that the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve. Ensure the valve is clear of debris. Verify the pump is functioning correctly.
Ball loses air quickly
Inspect the inflation valve for any damage or leaks. Ensure the valve cap is securely in place after inflation. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a puncture.
Ball shape is not round
Ensure the ball was inflated evenly. Check for any damage to the panels or stitching. Allow the ball to rest for a few hours after inflation; minor deformations can sometimes correct themselves.
