What is a Normal Size Football?

There isn't a single answer to what a normal size football is; it depends on your age and the type of football you play. Children and youth players typically use size 3 or 4, while senior players use size 5. For street football players, however, size 4.5 is the official size. In our size guide, you can find exactly which football suits your needs. In our wide selection of SELECT footballs, you'll find balls for all ages, levels, and surfaces. To get the most out of the game, it is important to choose a football that suits you and your needs.

The Normal Size Football for Adults

The normal size football for adults is size 5. The oldest youth players, use a size 5 football as well, but sometimes, they use a "transition ball," which is a size 5 but with a slightly lower weight, such as our Talento DB.

Whether you are a professional or an amateur, size 5 is used when you become a senior player. However, there can be differences in quality, depending on whether you use top balls or regular club balls.
