We have developed this ball for Futsal players, who play on parquet and PVC, as well as on more abrasive surfaces (asphalt, cement).

Design

Our design team observed futsal players playing on outdoor pitches to design and create this futsal ball.Robust thanks to its hybrid construction: for the design of this ball, we’ve combined the comfort of machine stitching with the robustness of hand stitching. In addition, we’ve selected a PU that is more resistant to abrasion and a bladder with wound thread (2 km of thread surrounding the bladder) to ensure more resistant inflation and improved sphericity.

Weight

Between 410 and 430 g.

Circumference

Between 62.5 and 63.5 cm.

Sphericity

Average measured variation: maximum of 1.5%.We measure the football’s sphericity at 16 different points and then examine any differences.If the difference is greater than 1.5% (FIFA Pro Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to guarantee consistent bounce.

Maximum pressure loss

20% in 72 hours.

Bounce

Between 55 and 65cm with a maximum difference of 10cm between the ball’s highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from 2 metres in height.

Precision

Our design team rolls the ball on an inclined surface towards a table. The direction of the trajectory and the variation of the trajectory’s angle are measured: maximum acceptable deviation of 5.

Shape and pressure retention

The ball is subjected to 2500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 50 km/h at a distance of 2.5 m. Maximum 1 cm increase in circumference, maximum 1.5% variation in sphericity and maximum 1.5% change in pressure.

A passion for futsal in all our designs!

A team of passionate individuals dedicated to our futsal products is based at Kipstadium, a site in Northern France with a variety of courts. These Decathlon men and women design and create products and services exclusively for this sport.We are constantly looking for ways to improve comfort and safety for Futsal players.

Our design teams created this hybrid futsal ball with internal seams for greater robustness and comfort. The PU outer material is resistant to abrasion.

Abrasion resistance

The stitching on this ball is on the inside and invisible, so more robust.

Bounce

Regular, controlled bounce thanks to the built-in wadding.

Lasting air retention

Guaranteed to keep ball pressure for longer thanks to Butyl et Latex bladder.
