One World Play Project Soccer Ball - Unpoppable, Unbreakable, Non-Deflating, Non-Toxic Futbol

We have a standard size poodle mix who loves to play soccer but also likes to carry the ball around in his mouth which has led to many deflated soccer balls. This was our last hope after trying many different types of balls and different qualities/price points. We were looking for a standard size soccer ball that he could not quickly pop or tear apart. So far we have had this ball for two weeks and we are shocked that it is still in great condition minus hundreds of tooth marks in it! Super impressed and super worth the money for us to be able to continue to play soccer with him! Highly recommend!

We purchased 5 balls to take to Springs of Hope Kenya, a children's home for orphaned, abandoned and abused kids, just outside of Nakuru. We have taken inflatable balls in the past and in the first 10-20 minutes of play 3 balls had already gone flat. The One World Play Project balls were great! The kids played several times with the balls and they are still going strong! Thank you

We live in a remote area of Northern Kenya. Regular soccer balls last about 15 minutes because of all of the thorns and rough terrain. The ONE WORLD FOOTBALLS are incredibly durable.

Like some others, I didn't buy this ball to play soccer, but to play with my dog. He goes crazy for soccer balls, and has popped/chewed/destroyed every single one he's gotten his paws on. This is the first ball, whether made for dogs, sports, artillery, or any other purpose, that actually lives up to its indestructible claim. All of the balls we've tried in the pet toy aisle are either 1) made of very tough rubber or foam and last for a while, but inevitably deflate or get torn apart, or 2) made of hard plastic that my dog can't bite into and play with.He not only loves to chase and bat and bite this ball, but he can pick it up and run around with it like all of his other favorite toys and it re-inflates every time. And unlike the latter type of pet ball described above, I can dribble it around and kick it for him to chase without getting bruises and welts on my feet and shins. Of course, nothing short of hardened steel is going to stand up to a determined dog chewing on it relentlessly, so I only allow my dog to play with the ball when I'm there playing with him. After all, it's a ball, not a chew toy.The only issue I've had is that it feels a lot heavier than a normal soccer ball when you kick it, and it doesn't have quite the same bounce as a regular ball, so it doesn't go nearly as far. However, that's because it's not really sealed. When compressed, air goes out, but it immediately re-inflates due to the tough material. That said, though, I haven't played soccer since I was a kid, but running around and kicking this ball with my dog has been so much fun that I'm thinking of finding an adult league (one for out of shape middle aged guys) and playing again.As for other issues that some may have, here are a couple of opinions:Price - I believe in the charity aspect of this project (discussed further below). I also know that, when you're making a product like this on a smaller scale (at least smaller than Spalding, Wilson, or Adidas), you don't have the economies of scale to allow you to use premium materials and at the same time offer a rock bottom price. As I said above, this ball is made of premium materials indeed, and it performs beyond expectations. If you view this purchase as buying one ball at $20.00 for yourself and another at the same price to give away (I know, that's not really the way it works economically), this ball is a better value than almost any other ball you can buy for your dog. Heck, that would be true even if you assign $30.00 of the purchase price to the ball you get, in my opinion.The "Buy One, Give One" charity model - I normally view this kind of charity project (e.g., Tom's Shoes) as at best a marketing gimmick, and at worst actually harmful to the very communities they're trying to help. I'd rather buy quality products at a fair price and give my remaining disposable income to charities I care about and trust. Even when these Buy-Give companies are well meaning and responsibly run, they often paternalistically tell struggling communities what kind of help they need and apply a one-size-fits-all solution that almost never addresses the underlying issues that caused the extreme poverty and substandard living conditions. And it's my guess that in almost every case the economic value of their charity (both the purchase price I pay and the effort the company expends) would be more effective if it were just given in cash.That said, I see this company as different. This isn't a project that's attempting to solve any of those underlying conditions that are keeping underprivileged communities in poverty. So they're not trying to tell the underprivileged what they need. But I think that improving a community's quality of life, even if it doesn't solve all of their problems, is a worthwhile pursuit as well. I believe that just giving kids living in poverty something to feel good about and offering them a way to constructively use their time (which might, if nothing else, keep them from the hazards of their world) is a good thing. And given the passionate love of soccer (futbol) in almost the entire world outside of America, I can't imagine that the offer of these balls is likely to go unappreciated.As I said, these last two categories are OPINIONS ONLY. I'm not trying to tell anyone what they should believe or that their ideas about charity should be the same as mine.But even when it comes down to just the facts, I've had a great experience with this ball and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a durable toy for their larger furry friends.

Good sturdy soccer ball!

This Ball is for my dogShe is happy With it for à long time

Bought this due to my dog biting my kids balls and popping them. It did hold its shape after being bit. The problem was the round section of the ball with the logo is glued in. As soon as the weather warmed up here. In AZ glue began to come out and then when I happen to kick it just right the center fell in. The ball was replaced by Amazon but now it’s a inside ball defeating the whole point of why we got it in the first place

Pretty good ball for kids because of its durability. Would be great as a recess soccer ball. I only gave four stars because it doesn’t have the touch of a real soccer ball. Doesn’t quite feel or move the same.

Was sceptical when I bought the One World Futbol as to whether or not it would survive our giant breed dog. Our Leonberger loves footballs and has had several normal footballs but always pops them.Despite being bitten and chewed this ball is still going strong! When I ordered I was worried this was going to be a hard plastic but instead it is made out of Pop Foam so does give a little and he can pick it up. Full of holes now but still ball shaped and hasn't deflated. Plus it floats!As a football for normal, it use does feel a little different when you kick it, but as a street football or for kids it would be ideal.edit: 2 months later and our dog has had a good go at trying to destroy this ball. Is now definitely worse for wear and on its last legs but still inflated and kick-able

*BEWARE THE SIZE 5 ADULT BALL IS STILL MUCH SMALLER THAN A REGULAR SIZED FOOTBALL :(I'm aware that this product is not designed as a dog toy BUT due to very misleading marketing suggesting that it could be, I went ahead and paid the painful asking price. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. I don't own a bull terrier or a pet with strong jaws or sharp teeth - my mutt has lost most of his through old age! Yet still he was able to bite big holes straight into the ball immediately as he chased it. One quick kick about and the thing is peppered with holes. He was not left to chew - the damage happens whenever there is contact! I'm so annoyed and disappointed at the over-rated hype that this ball has on the reviews. Its basically just a soft rubbery ball (like Eva foam play mats) with a slightly shiny coating. It will not last - it already looks dreadful after two visits to the park.Completely over-priced and nowhere near the durability claimed.

I bought this ball three years ago and it is still as it was when I bought it, despite pretty solid use. Therein lies its strength - highly durable, won't (can't) go flat, the only way to lose it is high up a tree or to have it stolen. Value for money yes, in a three year period I would probably get through five or six pumpable footballs. The downside is the ball is slightly too heavy compared to a size 5 football and doesn't have the acceleration or speed of an air-filled football so you can pick up injuries (for an older player like me) if you kick it too hard all the time (eg practising long balls). But for a knockabout in the park it's perfect and dogs can sink their teeth into it as you look on indifferently. For someone who has almost come to blows with dog-owners on football pitches, it can honestly be a life-saver.

I’ve struggled for a long while to find a toy my staffy can’t destroy in 2 minutes and so far I’m very impressed with this ball. I saw it on YouTube and took a chance and so far it’s held up to his punishment and he loves it , it’s withstanding is bite and ripping action that other balls/toys can not . It’s well worth it. My only worries is when I figures out the Valve in the ball maybe a weak spot and try’s to rip that , so far so good but just keep it in mind of how your dog plays. For me the valve my be a issue. Overall very happy and impressed

I love this. Sick of punctured footballs I bought this to play with my Corgi cross who is a herder by nature and chases this around the garden. I have had this for a month playing dog ball and it has teeth marks all over it, she chews it, picks it up, runs with it and it still plays like a football. I should upload a photo of the ball. I bought the larger size 5 and it is light weight and big enough that she has to has to grab it side on. Yes it has lots of teeth marks in it but does not seem to be coming apart. Is it good value for money? Yes I think it is, using it to play with my dog is obviously not what this is made for so I will be interested in seeing how it stands up to the pounding. But it is not hard plastic like another I bought which my dog won't even look at as it is too heavy and hard. Great product.
