Design
Our design team thought about and designed this hybrid Futsal ball after observing Futsal players in action on the field.
This ball has a hybrid design that combines the comfort of machine-stitching with the durability of hand-stitching.
We also used a bladder with winded thread (1.25 miles of threads are wrapped around the bladder) to ensure durable inflation and better sphericity.
Weight
Between 14.1 and 15.5 oz.
Circumference
Between 24.6" and 25".
Sphericity
Average measured variation: Maximum of 1.5%. We measure the ball'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 21.7" and 25.6" with a maximum difference of 4" between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from 6'7" high.
Precision
Our design team rolls the ball on an inclined surface toward 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 resists up to 2500 shots against an inclined flat concrete slab at 30 mph at a distance of 10'.
Circumference increases by a maximum 0.6".
1.5% variation in sphericity and maximum 0.1 bar 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 players to Futsal.
