Outdoor Balls for Men
Outdoor balls are suitable for use on grass and artificial turf.
Size and Weight
While choosing the right size and weight is still very important for youth players, adults can hardly go wrong. The standard size for men is size 5, and the ball should weigh around 450 grams.
Material
A football is almost always made from polyurethane or PVC. Polyurethane is a durable and hard wearing material, which is why balls made from it are often used as match balls. Unlike a PVC ball, a polyurethane ball remains easy to play with even in bad weather. All outdoor balls have good bounce, which increases the tempo of the game.
Quality Mark
A number of footballs meet certain requirements and have therefore been awarded an official quality mark. You can recognize balls with a quality mark by the stamp on the ball. The different quality marks a ball can carry are FIFA Quality PRO, FIFA Quality, or International Match Standard (IMS).
A quality mark indicates the quality level of the ball; balls with a quality mark are naturally of good quality! To earn a quality mark, a football is tested on all kinds of aspects, such as weight, circumference and how its shape changes at different temperatures.
