About the Soccer Ball
A soccer ball is the round ball used in association football, the most-played sport on the planet. Its familiar black-and-white look comes from a 32-panel design of 20 six-sided patches and 12 five-sided ones, made famous in the 1970s. That patchwork of shapes helps the ball hold a true round form so it rolls and flies straight. Print this one for a sports-day corner where kids trace from panel to panel on the way through.
- A match ball's size and weight are set by Law 2 of the sport's official rules.
- The black-and-white Adidas Telstar ball made this panel pattern a symbol of the game.
