Technical information

Technical features

Not all of our balls are made in the same way. The panels can be stitched in different ways: machine stitched or hand stitched for better resistance to wear, better shape retention and better performance.

A ball's grip is what lets you control it when passing and receiving.

High-quality grip

The grip on our 500 ball is the result of many years' work with our technical partner Jean Marc Doussain, Decathlon's Sport Lab teams and the clubs LMRCV and OMR.

Balls designed for regular play and competition.

If you train or play matches regularly, you'll need a durable ball that stays inflated and is comfortable on both your hands and feet. Check out our 500 range.

For anyone older than 14, choose a size 5 ball.

To help you, the size is written on the ball.
