Mitre Impel One Football - White/Black/Grey - Size 5

This Mitre Impel One Football is a Size 5, which is the standard size for adult and youth players (typically age 12 and older).

No, the Mitre Impel One Football is shipped deflated to ensure safe transit. You will need a ball pump and inflation needle to inflate it before its first use.

This football is suitable for use on both natural grass pitches and artificial AstroTurf surfaces, making it versatile for various training environments.

It is designed for excellent durability with a new, improved six-panel configuration that increases longevity by 10% compared to previous models, and machine-stitching for consistent shape retention.

Simply wipe the ball clean with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, then rinse and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The Vimini surface refers to a specialized texture on the ball that enhances grip. This improved grip allows players to exert more control over the ball, making it easier to put spin on passes and shots.

The recommended inflation pressure (PSI/bar) is typically printed near the valve on the ball itself. Always refer to this marking to ensure optimal performance and ball longevity.

While durable and high-performing, the Mitre Impel One is primarily designed as a training ball. For competitive match play, higher-tier match balls might offer different characteristics. However, for practice and casual games, it performs exceptionally well.

The ball is intentionally shipped deflated. You will need a standard ball pump and inflation needle (not included) to inflate it before use. Consider purchasing one if you don't already have one.

First, ensure the valve is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of water or saliva to the valve area; if bubbles appear, there might be a slow leak from the valve. If the ball is new, ensure it was inflated to the correct pressure initially. For persistent issues, inspect the ball's surface for any punctures.

Check the inflation level. An under-inflated ball will feel 'dead' and heavy, while an over-inflated ball will be too hard and difficult to control. Adjust the pressure to the manufacturer's recommended PSI/bar, usually printed near the valve, for optimal performance.

Wipe down the ball immediately after use with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing brushes that could damage the surface.
