Balls Uhlsport: training, match or artificial turf

Founded in 1948 in Balingen, in the south-west of Germany, Uhlsport started by making leather football boots before covering all the footballer's equipment. Its balls are distinguished by their use. The Resist, with its reinforced surface, withstands worn asphalt and synthetic pitches. The Team and the Attack are used for daily training by clubs, while the more polished Match is intended for competition. The Addglue technology is based on a double bonding of the panels: seamless surface, consistent roundness and very low water absorption in the rain, with FIFA Basic certification. Hummel completes the selection with a lightweight ball designed for younger players.

Club and national team shirts: the story behind the colours

Each home shirt has a story. The all-white of the Real Madrid, founded in 1902, earns it the nickname Merengues. FC Barcelona, established in 1899 by Swiss Joan Gamper, plays in blue and maroon, the blaugrana. OM, born the same year, wears white and sky blue, while RC Lens, founded in 1906, sports red and gold. Liverpool has played in red since 1896. On the national team side, the green and white of Algeria and the away blue shirt of Brazil, the colour worn during the 1958 World Cup final, have their loyal fans. Children’s shirts replicate the design of the adults', including the badges.

Frequently asked questions

What size football for a child?

Size three is suitable for the youngest, up to about eight years old, size four carries children up to twelve or thirteen, then size five takes over. Lighter balls, which are lighter at the same size, reassure kids when striking and heading.

Why do some shirts have stars above the badge?

On a national team shirt, each star represents a World Cup victory. Some leagues use it for clubs, like Italy, where a star rewards ten national championship titles.

How to maintain a football?

It is wiped down after each session, especially if it has gotten wet, and stored out of the sun. The pressure indicated near the valve is checked with a gauge: over-inflated, the ball deforms and bounces too high.

Should a child's shirt be printed with a player's name?

A print with the child's name prevents them from getting tired if their favourite player leaves the club. In all cases, you should choose a slightly loose size, as a print cannot be transferred from one shirt to another as the child grows.

How many players are there in a football team?

A team fields eleven players, including a goalkeeper, and can make five substitutions in most official competitions. For youth teams, five-a-side and then eight, on a reduced pitch, precede the eleven-a-side game.
