Ball in the 2000


Developments in soccer ball design is continuing. Many companies have recently come out with new high tech materials and designs for soccer balls. The object is to develop the optimum soccer ball that is flight accurate, water proof, fast in flight and transfers all of your kicking force to the ball (does not absorb energy), has soft feel, and is safe to head the ball. Optimum soccer balls should also adhere to ball specifications given by governing bodies such as FIFA.



New balls such as Adidas' Roteiro, Finale and Fevernova, Nike's Geo Merlin, Spalding's Infusion, Puma's Shudah, and Mitre's ISO use the latest design innovations and high tech materials.
