The Match Hybrid 2 ball is manufactured according to FIFA Quality Pro standards for training and competition. The ball is durable and offers excellent feel.
Not even a scratch!
The most rigorous test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. The ball must withstand 2,500 shots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h from a distance of 2.5 m. At the end of the test, we check: - the overall condition of the ball: the stitching must withstand this test
- circumference: must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm.
- sphericity: must not have changed by more than 1.8%
- pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%.
Durability of our balls
We have developed a tool to characterize the durability of our balls. Defects that appear during use are identified and evaluated through a series of laboratory tests. These tests enable us to compare the overall strength of our footballs with those available on the market. Our goal: to have the most durable products on the market.
The story behind our range of balls
Our range of balls has been designed in collaboration with 244 European footballers. This community helped us choose the colors and names so that it would be easy to see the difference between the models. These balls are FIFA approved and designed for different levels of technical demands (training, club, match, professional). Their increased durability and better feel bring them ever closer to the official ball that graces the pitches of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT.
Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized...
This ball weighs between 410 g and 450 g (size 5) and complies with official FIFA standards. FIFA Quality Pro certified.
A "round" ball?
Here's how we test sphericity: Average measured variation: Maximum 1.8% (FIFA Quality standard). We measure the sphericity of the football at 4500 different points and then examine any changes. If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Quality standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
Maximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...
Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (i.e. 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, which means approximately 0.1 bar (FIFA Quality standard). The pressure after 72 hours should therefore be approximately 0.7 bar. This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
We also tested how much water the ball absorbs...
Here's how we test water absorption: We simulate rainy game conditions in a laboratory, leaving the ball to sit in 2 cm of water on a rotating support while undergoing 250 compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 10% of its weight (FIFA Quality standard).

A beach ball?
We know that a stable trajectory is important, especially for players on the field who kick long balls and for goalkeepers who send the ball down the field. To ensure excellent stability, we have changed the construction of the outer layer. Traditional balls are made with 32 panels, but we have designed this match ball using 24 identical panels. This improves the stability of the ball and makes the game more comfortable.
How big is it? What is the circumference?
This ball measures between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm and complies with official FIFA standards. FIFA Quality Pro certified.

The story behind this Hybrid 2 ball
Our design team created this Hybrid 2 ball after observing footballers in action on the field. We have used patented technology to create a ball that is more reliable and comfortable than ever before, coupled with a highly technical "fabric-wrapped" bladder that keeps it perfectly spherical.
It's all about the bounce
Here's the rebound test: The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 meters. The bounce height must be between 125 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest and lowest bounce of the ball.
