Football balls adidas

What adidas balls can you find on Foot-Store?

The adidas selection at Foot-Store includes footballs designed for different uses: official matches, training sessions or just for fun with friends. The models come in several sizes, from beginner balls for the youngest players to size 5 balls used in adult competitions. Some balls focus on durability for intensive use on synthetic or stabilised pitches, while others prioritise the precision of touch required during matches.

How to choose your adidas football?

Choosing an adidas ball mainly depends on its intended use: a training ball can withstand repeated sessions and various surfaces, while a match ball is calibrated to meet competition standards. Size also matters: it is chosen based on the player's age, with size 5 being the standard for adults and teenagers, and smaller sizes available for younger players. Finally, the material of the cover affects the playing sensation and durability depending on whether playing indoors, on grass or on synthetic surfaces.

Match ball or training ball adidas: what's the difference?

An adidas match ball is designed to meet competition requirements: consistent trajectory, correct weight and standard circumference. A training ball, on the other hand, focuses on durability to handle repeated sessions, sometimes on abrasive surfaces. The recreational ball is somewhere in between the two, balancing comfort and sturdiness, suited for occasional use.

When to take advantage of deals on adidas footballs?

Frequently asked questions

What size adidas ball to choose according to age?

Size 5 is for adults and teenagers from around 13 years old. Size 4 suits children aged 8 to 12 years, and smaller sizes are reserved for the youngest beginners. It’s better to choose a size that fits the player’s physique rather than a ball that is too heavy, which could hinder their technique.

Can an adidas training ball be used in a match?

Technically yes, but a training ball doesn't always offer the same trajectory consistency as one specifically designed for competition. For an official match, it's better to choose a ball intended for that purpose.

How to identify an adidas ball suitable for synthetic pitches?

Balls designed for synthetic surfaces usually have a reinforced cover that is more resistant to abrasion than that of standard match balls. Information about the recommended surface is provided on each ball's product page.

Should an adidas ball be inflated to a specific pressure?

Yes, each ball indicates a recommended pressure range, usually specified on the ball itself or its packaging. Adhering to this range helps avoid damaging the internal structure and ensures a bounce that meets the manufacturer's expectations.

Do adidas match and training balls have the same price?

No, a match ball, which is more technical and often certified for competition, usually costs more than a standard training ball. The Sales and Clearance pages allow you to compare prices throughout the year.
