Ball (association football)
A football or soccer ball is the ball used in the sport of association football. The ball's spherical shape, as well as its size, mass, and material composition, are specified by Law 2 of the Laws of the Game maintained by the International Football Association Board. Additional, more stringent standards are specified by FIFA and other governing bodies for the balls used in the competitions they sanction. The modern 32-panel ball design was developed in 1962 by Eigil Nielsen. The design brought to prominence with Adidas Telstar which featured a black-and-white patterned spherical truncated icosahedron design, and has become a symbol of association football. However, as technological research continues in order to develop footballs with improved performance, many different designs of balls exist, varying both in appearance and physical characteristics. The 32-panel ball design was joined by balls with different number of panels, as few as 4.
