Football Size Guide: What Are Size 3, 4 and 5 Footballs?

Which size for which age

Size 3 balls are typically used for young children, size 4 for roughly ages 8-12, and size 5 is the standard adult and older-youth match ball. Always confirm the size standard with your league or school.

Machine-stitched vs thermal-bonded

Machine-stitched balls have panels sewn together and are durable and affordable, which suits training and school use. Thermal-bonded balls glue panels together with heat for a more uniform surface and better water resistance, which suits matches.

Bulk and custom orders

When ordering custom footballs, check panel colours, logo placement, bladder type and packaging. Request a sample for the first order. Many factories offer low MOQs on training balls.
