League Football Fans Memorabilia Soccer Regular No. 5 Ball Birthday Present, Size 5 Ball, Gray

they gave a ball that was not close to the photo and as soon as i shot the ball the leather ripped off very very bad quality. PLEASE DONT BUY

My son needed a larger ball to use at soccer practice since he outgrew his other ball. This one is perfect for him. It is a really cool ball and he loves all the stars on it. It arrived deflated, so it needed to be pumped up. It did not include a pump, but I have several already. I pumped it up and it is perfect! It is a well stitched, thick, durable ball.

I ordered this ball since from the information and pictures posted for its sale I had already identified many warning signs. In fact, I thought that the seller advertises an original match ball but I would just get a replica ball. The outcome is worse than this.UEFA Match balls are made by Adidas and hence they carry the Adidas logo. Match balls are always labelled `FIFA QUALITY Pro' balls and nothing else. They have thermal stitching. Now, this ball does not carry any logo. Not Adidas, not Puma, not Select, nothing. Because, of course, it would be a serious legal problem. However, it still has an infringement problem: The panel design. It does belong to Adidas. In addition, the ball carries imprinted stamps of `UEFA Champions league' and `FIFA Quality'. Hence, there is probably an infringement problem with UEFA and FIFA. (By the way, notice that `FIFA Quality' is a level down from `FIFA Quality Pro'.)The ball is made to look like an Adidas match ball but, the moment you touch it, if you have ever bought a real ball, you will realize immediately the difference. The surface texture of the real balls feels way nicer. In this ball, the texture is just some roughness on the material. Also, the thermal stitching looks superficial and the panels are not aligned very well.The ball has actually two stamps regarding quality: `FIFA Quality' and `Match Ball replica League'. (There is picture of the ball showing both stamps in the description of the product.) Since the manufacturer and seller know that this is a low quality product, they have tried to place a hidden disclaimer on the ball! And by posting the picture, I assume that their argument would be: "We created a ball for kids just to have fun. We placed various things on it and we never claimed that this is actually a real match ball. We had already shown that this is a replica ball." However, this argument contains flaws.Only Adidas can sell Champions League replica balls. And, in the description of the ball, there are comments that try to convey the idea that this is indeed the authentic ball of pro players: "Champions League match ball. This is a precision ball used by Bayern and other clubs in the European League. It is only available in size 5, ideal for serious players!" and "The unique thermal bonding technology on the cushion foam layer can produce a smooth, seamless covering layer, ..."If played, I have no idea how long it will last but I suspect that the stitching is false and the panels will fall apart very quickly. There is already a buyer complaining that the ball was ripped off with the very first shot.Therefore: Do not even think to buy this ball for serious play. You can only buy it as a cheap gift for really young kids to use it as decoration in their rooms. Nothings else. And in this case, you consciously help deceiving manufacturers and sellers.PS. And a little science trivia for the seller and the soccer lovers: The statement "The textured surface of the ball reduces turbulence and stabilizes turbulence during flight." in the description is wrong. The textured surface actually increases turbulence. A smoother sphere would allow the air to flow with less turbulence. However, less turbulence creates way worse cases of knuckleballs. It is the turbulence that stabilizes the ball!
