Football refers to sports equipment manufactured from synthetic leather material, such as polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and stitched around and inflated rubber or butyl rubber bladder. It can also be created using high-quality stitching, durable body, and various specialized features for effortless handling, passing, and shooting. It is often integrated with numerous advanced functionalities for excellent performance, accuracy, speed, and control during professional football tournaments. Football is required to be deflated while storing and inflated adequately before playing to maintain its quality and efficiency. It should be kept away from harsh detergents or chemicals and should be cleaned with gentle soaps, synthetic leather cleansers, or just with water. It should not be kicked against a wall or any flat surface repeatedly, as it can warp the original shape of a football. As it offers high air retention and water resistance and can be utilized in various challenging environmental conditions, the demand for football is rising around the world.
