About
A standard soccer ball is a hollow, air-filled sphere measuring slightly under nine inches across.
Adult matches require an official size 5 ball, though younger players often train with smaller size 3 or size 4 versions. It is slightly larger than a standard volleyball, but noticeably smaller and lighter than a regulation basketball. Despite feeling sturdy when kicked, the ball is mostly empty space held under pressure inside synthetic leather panels.
From Wikipedia
A football or soccer ball is the ball used in the sport of association football. The ball's spherical shape, as well as its size, mass, and material composition, are specified by Law 2 of the Laws of the Game maintained by the International Football Association Board.
