Design
It was by observing the players of our technical partner Squadra Mouscron (Belgian D1 Futsal) that our design team conceived and designed this hand-sewn Futsal ball.
Hand-sewn because in the design of this ball, we gave priority to resistance and precision in the service of the game.
Weight
Between 410 and 430 grams.
Circumference
Between 62.5 and 63.5cm.
Sphericity
Variation of the measured average: maximum 1.5%.
We measure the sphericity of the ball at 16 different points and look at the deviations observed.
If the deviation exceeds 1.5% (FIFA Quality PRO standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to guarantee a regular rebound.
Maximum pressure loss
15% in 72 hours
Rebound
Between 55cm and 65cm with a maximum difference of 10cm between the highest and lowest bounce per ball. Each ball is released 10 times onto a steel plate from a height of 2 meters.
Precision
Our Design team rolls the ball down an inclined plane towards a table. The orientation of the stroke and the variation in the stroke angle are measured: maximum deviation of 5° tolerated.
Shape retention and pressure
The ball can withstand 5,000 shots against a concrete slope at 50km/h from a distance of 2.5m.
Maximum 1cm increase in circumference.
Maximum 1.5% change in sphericity and maximum 10% change in pressure.
Futsal passion at the heart of our design!
Based at the Kipstadium (a site with several practice fields) in Northern France, a team of enthusiasts works specifically on Futsal. These DECATHLON men and women imagine and design products and services exclusive to the sport.
We are constantly striving to improve the comfort and safety of Futsal players.
