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.
We loved this soccer ball for its perfect quality.
Good ball for practice matches.
Excellent product

Love the quality and price on that one
Very pleased with item purchased
The ball lasted less than a week because it deflated and couldn't be re-inflated.
I liked the product, the size is correct. thank!
Do not buy a Nike football. You will get triple the quality for half the price with this football It does not sting to kick, and even if it is pumped up to hard, it still responds well. It is one of the most accurate to use and also can pick up a lot more power than most balls. Despite this you probably won't break any wrists if you are in goal, because it will likely bounce of your hand comfortably. It is clearly visible in most situations I have never had a puncture with any Decathlon balls, but have had many with Nike balls. I haven't noticed it going down at all even with intensive daily use, and the paneling doesn't peel off or lose its color even after being exposed to the elements for a long time.
The size and finish are good, but we noticed when playing with it that it was heavier than normal, so that my sons were a little more reluctant to go in goal. We then managed to puncture it on our first day on holiday when it got kicked against a wire joining a chain link fence together. Having cut it open to try a puncture repair kit (which did work) we found the skin is made from moulded foam with very little strength in the outer layer. Other (lighter) balls we've owned have had quite tough outer skins which haven't worn out despite much kicking over hard surfaces, so we won't be buying another Kipsta ball.
Thanks for your review. I've passed your feedback onto Kipsta and I've since learnt a bit more about our footballs. The outer shell of the ball is a PU (polyurethane), which is really resistant against all normal surfaces. Under that, there is some foam to improve the comfort when the ball is kicked. Some models are made with PVC but on this model it isn't used so that the resistance and comfort are better, and the carbon footprint is lower.
Do you have any pictures of the ball for me to pass on to Kipsta? Just in case this is a faulty ball.
Kind regards,
Will

Have used these quality footballs on various surfaces and the have yet to show any issues. Would recommend to anyone.
This football is made from good quality material, and is fit for purpose.

Design
Our design team watched soccer players in action on the pitch to develop this Hybrid ball. This ball is a hybrid as it combines the comfort of machine-stitching with the durability of hand-stitching. We also used a bladder with thread winding (1.25 miles of thread is wrapped around the bladder) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.
Weight
Between 14.8 and 15.7 oz (Size 5)
Circumference
Around 2.4 oz (Size 5)
Sphericity
Average measured variation: maximum 1.5% We measure the ball's sphericity at 16 different points and assess the recorded discrepancies. If the discrepancy is greater than 1.5% (FIFA PRO Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
Maximum pressure loss
We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not lose more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar. 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.
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. By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight, meaning approx. 2.1 oz for this F100 in size 5.
Bounce
Between 53" and 61" with a maximum difference of 4" between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from a height of 6'6".
Shape and pressure retention
The most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. Withstands up to 2500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 30 mph at a distance of 8 feet. 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 by more than 0.6" - the sphericity: it must not have varied by over 1.5% - the pressure: the ball's loss of pressure must not exceed 0.1 bar
