You will also find mini balls for technique training and bulk balls for clubs, schools and training camps – the right size makes a decisive difference when learning shooting technique and ball control.

Types of footballs: training ball, match ball & indoor ball

Training balls score points with high durability, hard-wearing seams and a robust outer skin for frequent use. Match balls are designed for optimal flight characteristics, low water absorption and precise ball control – many models carry the FIFA Quality or FIFA Quality Pro label. Indoor balls have reduced bounce and a special surface for controlled play on indoor floors. The right ball is ready for every playing situation.

The category is ideal for football coaches, club officials, parents and recreational footballers in Switzerland who are looking for high-quality footballs for training, matches and leisure.

Quality, material & certification

When buying a football, it is worth taking a look at the upper material, the seam construction and official certifications such as the FIFA Quality label. High-quality balls made from polyurethane or synthetic leather offer an optimal feel, low water absorption in wet conditions and a long lifespan – crucial for training efficiency and playing quality.

Frequently asked questions

Which football size is right for my child?▾

Footballs come in different sizes: Size 3 is suitable for children up to about 8 years old, size 4 for children aged 8 to 12, and size 5 is the official match ball for adolescents aged 13 and above and adults. Choosing the right size supports healthy shooting technique and helps prevent overuse injuries.

What is the difference between training balls and match balls?▾

Training balls are particularly robust, durable and designed for frequent use on various surfaces. Match balls, on the other hand, offer optimised flight characteristics, more precise roundness and are often FIFA-certified – they are ideal for official matches and ambitious club teams.

Which football is suitable for artificial turf?▾

For artificial turf pitches, footballs with a hard-wearing, abrasion-resistant outer skin are recommended. Models with a textured surface or a special coating reduce friction and significantly extend the life of the ball on synthetic surfaces.

What does FIFA Quality certification mean for footballs?▾

FIFA tests footballs for weight, roundness, water absorption, rebound behaviour and shape retention. Balls with the FIFA Quality label meet international standards and are approved for play at a high level. The FIFA Quality Pro label designates the highest level for professional match balls.

How do I inflate a football correctly?▾

A football should be inflated slowly and evenly using a suitable ball needle adapter and a standard pump. The recommended air pressure is usually between 0.6 and 1.1 bar and is printed on the ball. Regular checks maintain optimal playing characteristics and protect the bladder.

Which football is suitable for indoor football?▾

For indoor football, special indoor balls with reduced bounce and an abrasion-resistant felt or soft-touch surface are suitable. These balls are designed for hard indoor floors, offer controlled bounce behaviour and enable precise passing play indoors.

How do I properly care for and clean my football?▾

After the game, the football should be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Harsh cleaning agents should be avoided. Store the ball dry and protected from direct sunlight – this keeps the material, shape and colour intact for a long time.

Which brands make the best footballs?▾

Adidas, Nike and Puma are global leaders and supply professional leagues and international tournaments. Select and Derbystar have a strong presence in European club football and offer durable match and training balls. Molten, Uhlsport and Mitre round out the range with high-quality alternatives for various needs and budgets.
