Sourcing & ethics
We sell footballs and nothing else, so we can afford to know every factory we buy from.
Our supplier checklist
- Factory audit: current amfori BSCI, WRAP, SA8000, Sedex/SMETA or Fair Trade certificate.
- Sample testing: weight, circumference, roundness, rebound and 72-hour air-loss tests on every new model.
- FIFA licence check: any ball sold as FIFA certified must have a licence number that matches FIFA's Quality Programme database.
- No counterfeits: we never sell unbranded copies of brand designs. Branded balls come only from authorised distributors.
- Pre-shipment inspection: independent AQL inspection before balls leave the factory.
