Design details
- The story behind this ball
- Our design team created this hybrid ball after observing football players in action on the pitch.
- This ball is a hybrid because its design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the robustness of a hand-sewn one (the seams are on the inside).
- We've also used a special bladder (2 km of thread is wrapped around it) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.
The robustness of our balls
- We've developed a tool for characterising the robustness of our balls.
- Defects that appear in use are identified and assessed through a series of laboratory tests.
- These tests enable us to compare the overall strength of our footballs with those available on the market.
- Our aim: to have the most robust products on the market.
- Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardised...
- This ball weighs between 350 g and 390 g (size 4) and complies with official FIFA standards.
FIFA Basic approved.
How big is it? What's the circumference?
- This ball measures between 63.5 cm and 66.0 cm (size 4) and complies with official FIFA standards.
- FIFA Basic approved.
A "round" ball?
- Here's how we test sphericity:
- Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic certification).
- We measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences.
- If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
Maximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...
- Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar).
- 72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar (FIFA Basic certification). The pressure -after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar.
- This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
