In conclusion, the air pressure within a football does matter. This pressure can influence the distance of the kick, and the height of the bounce of the ball during a game. Therefore the air pressure of a football must remain constant between 62 – 76 kpa.

FIFA laws state the air pressure in a regulation ball must be between 8.5 psi and 15.6 psi.

Also, helium is much lighter than air, so the coach wants to know if they can kick the ball farther if it is filled with helium….Can helium filled footballs be kicked farther than air filled balls?

Yes, the balls are filled to the proper PSI(roughly 11.5–13.5 psi). So they are fairly “hard”, but you get used to them. I always fill up the balls for my boys/girls teams to the proper PSI and the refs/players always comment on how hard the ball is.

In the United States, the Premier League Merlin will set you back $160 and in the United Kingdom it costs £104.95, which means that it is much more expensive than the average ball.

Soccer Balls Are Filled with Helium Apparently some people still believe this strange myth, but no, balls used in professional soccer matches are not filled with buoyant helium instead of oxygen.

Again the answer is usually no and it is customary for fans to give the ball back to the matchday staff or other officials. The main reason for this is because soccer balls cost a bit of money, normally around $100 so that is why clubs want them back, because of the cost.

At atmospheric pressure, one litre of helium, being lighter than air, will only lift about 1 gram. So filling a small ball with helium would have a negligible effect on its behaviour. It certainly would not float. Trying to make a soccer ball float by inflating it with helium would likewise fail.

It’s Not Helium A quick search on Google reveals that a lot of people believe that Helium is the gas that is used to inflate soccer balls. Yet soccer balls have never been filled with Helium. There is no record of an official match ever being played anywhere with a ball that has been filled in this way.

Just plain old regular air. 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other stuff.

Some soccer balls are so expensive because they are made from the highest quality materials and are constructed using the best techniques and technology. The cost of an expensive ball reflects the time and skill involved in manufacturing the ball.

The Shimansky diamond soccer ball is valued at a phenomenal 20 million South African rands—that’s US $2.59 million! Aside from the ball, Shimansky has also created a 9.3 carat World Cup dome ring worth nearly $16,000 and a pair of silver commemorative World Cup cufflinks worth $129.

Kylian Mbappé has been ranked as the fastest footballer in the world 2021 by Le Figaro. Well known as Lottin he plays as a forward for the league1 club Paris Saint Germain and the France national team. He is a kind of soccer player who remains active throughout the league.

World Cup winner Mbappe, 21, has clocked a top speed of 10.6 metres per second. Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale – who reportedly wishes he was back at Spurs – is rated as the second fastest at 10.3m per second while Athletic Bilbao’s Inaki Williams is third with 9.9m per second.

You’ll have to look down all the way to seventh position to find Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who often used to be considered as the world’s fastest footballer. Now 32, the Portuguese forward has slowed down a tad, finding a a maximum of 33.6km per hour, while Barcelona’s Lionel Messi is in ninth (32.5km per hour).

Mbappé is faster than Ronaldo. His average speed was 36 km/hr — which is even more impressive when you realise eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt averaged 37.5 km/hr when he set the world 100m record in 2009.

Messi has an advantage over Ronaldo: Messi has won more titles mostly because he plays for a better team, not because he is a better player than Ronaldo. Throughout his entire career, Messi played for arguably the best side to ever play the game.

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, commonly known as Neymar Jr. or simply Neymar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for French club Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national team. His top speed is 31 km/hr. According to FIFA, Cristiano Ronaldo’s fastest speed is 31 km/hr.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored more goals than Brazilian legend Pele and the second most of any soccer player in history. For Portugal, Ronaldo has scored 102 times in 170 games.

Brazil great Pele claimed Barcelona star Neymar is technically superior to Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. “Technically, Neymar is way better, but he [Ronaldo] is better when using the head. “You don’t see Neymar scoring with the head, and that counts [in Ronaldo’s favour].”

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has been lauded as the best player in world football ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. “He plays more balls than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.” Neymar, 28, was widely tipped to follow in the same footsteps as Messi and Ronaldo after bursting on to the scene at Santos.
