Lionstrike Match Football

The Lionstrike Match Ball LT is the lightest match-standard football that conforms to official international match standards (IMS) as designated by FIFA. 

Engineered with revolutionary NeoBladder™ technology, these footballs are manufactured to IMS standard and are at the lighter end of match specifications. That makes our size 3 and size 4 match balls perfect for U6-U9 and U10-U14 age groups who would greatly benefit from a slightly lighter football during matches. 

Why Is This Important?

When kids transition from training to playing matches, they want a match ball that they can control well, that they can kick well, and that they can feel braver about heading.

From a coach’s perspective, coaches want a high quality, match standard football that improves the standard of football played and that stands up to tough Winter conditions.

Lionstrike match footballs also have a strong safety element, as they are lighter than regular footballs and therefore force of impact (especially heading) is less during matches.

PRODUCT FEATURES: 

MATCH SPECIFICATION
The Lionstrike LT is manufactured to International Match Standards, as defined by FIFA guidelines.

STRONG CONSTRUCTION
Our match ball is tightly-stitched and seam-sealed, keeping the ball round and keeping water out in wet conditions.

SAFETY ASPECT
Lionstrike footballs are 20% lighter and so they hurt less when children are heading the ball. Our footballs are perfect for matches, match coaching and for children to practice their skills.

LOW MAINTENANCE
A high-retention bladder, incorporating NeoBladder™ technology, holds air very well for repeated use without re-inflating. They are built to stand heavy wear, match after match.

GREAT MATCH BALL
This is the best match ball to help U6-U9's and U10-U14's transition from training to matches. It really helps them to work on their skills, develop confidence and be able to generate power when striking the ball.

SPECIFICATION:

• Outer Material: Matt finished PU Leather plus a 5mm EVA Foam layer beneath this, giving a soft touch and feel.
  
• Bladder: Strong wound bladder, engineered with NeoBladder™ technology, which provides a strong and lightweight bladder that stays inflated
• Seams - The Match Ball LT is seam-sealed, which strengthens the seams and also prevents water absorption that can reduce a football’s lifespan.
