Puma Manchester City Ball

This ball is designed primarily for recreational play, training, and casual use. While it features a standard 32-panel construction, it is machine-stitched rather than thermally bonded, making it better suited for practice sessions than official match play.

The TPU outer casing is durable enough for grass and artificial turf. However, using it on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt will significantly accelerate wear and tear on the outer material.

No, the ball is shipped deflated to ensure safe transit. You will need a standard ball pump with a needle to inflate it before your first use.

Machine-stitched construction offers excellent durability and a soft touch, which is ideal for everyday training. It provides a reliable, consistent flight path, though it may absorb slightly more water than a thermally bonded ball if used in heavy rain.

Yes, the graphics are applied to the TPU casing to withstand standard wear. While the design will remain visible, minor fading or scuffing is normal over time with frequent, high-intensity use.
