Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The football will arrive deflated and requires inflation to its recommended pressure before first use. Use a standard football pump with a suitable needle. Over-inflation should be avoided to maintain the ball's shape and performance.
Compatibility: This size 5 football is officially sanctioned for use in professional adult football matches and training. It is suitable for all types of pitches, including grass, artificial turf, and indoor surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the textured surface.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is slightly deflated if storing for an extended period to prolong the life of the bladder.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the inflation level and add air as needed using the PUMA Air Lock valve. Inspect the seams and surface for any signs of wear and tear.
