This ball feels really nice to touch and behaves really well. On top of this the price is more than reasonable.
These soccer balls for $13 are amazing, I could not have gotten anything better for the price. IMS stamp is a great add-on. Keep it up Decathlon, great product.
The description is wrong, but the pictures are what I received both times I ordered; a F500 ball with IMS certification. I haven't had them long enough to know about longevity, but all three I ordered are round, hold air well, and feel good off the foot. Most balls with the FIFA IMS certification cost three times as much. I appreciate being able to get quality for a low price, because my son is likely to lose at least one of them at practice.
Good weight, responds well, very happy with this ball.
The quality is very average You must stock some Nike and Adidas
Hello Alex,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Apologies that you were not happy with the quality of this popular model of Kipsta soccer ball.
Just to let you know that we do stock Nike soccer balls:

The story behind this ball
Our design team created this hybrid ball after observing soccer players in action on the field. This ball is a hybrid because its design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one. We also used a bladder with a special design (1.25 miles of thread is wrapped around the bladder) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.
Too light? too heavy? this ball's weight is standardized
This ball weighs between 14.5 oz and 15.9 oz (size 5) and complies with official FIFA standards. FIFA Basic approved.
How big is it? what's the circumference?
This ball measures between 26.8" and 27.6" and complies with official FIFA standards. FIFA Basic approved.
A "round" ball?
Here's how we test sphericity: Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic certification). We measure the soccer's sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any differences. If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
Maximum pressure loss test
Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar (FIFA Basic certification). The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar. This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
We've also tested how much water the ball absorbs
Here's how we test water absorption: We simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, leaving the ball to sit in 0.8" of water on a pivoting support while subjecting it to 250 compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 10% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).
It's all about the bounce
Here's the bounce test: The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 6'7". The bounce height must be between 49.2" and 61" with a maximum difference of 3.9" between the ball's highest and lowest bounce.
Not even a scratch!
The most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. The ball must withstand 2,500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 30 mph from a distance of 8'2". At the end of the test, we check: - the ball's general state: Stitching must withstand this test - the circumference: It must not have increased more than 0.6".- the sphericity: It must not have varied by over 1.8% - the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 12.5%.
