Nike Soccer Balls

Nike soccer balls across the Academy range

Academy, Academy Plus and Academy Elite appear as separate choices here. Keep those full names in view when comparing designs or replacing a ball you already use. A familiar Academy graphic doesn't tell you which version you're looking at. Check the particular model's details for its construction and intended use.

Start practice and match choices with named models

For practice, begin with Pitch Training. Control Match is another model to inspect for match selection. Check the ball's own description and your competition's requirements before choosing. If you want to compare other brands too, the soccer match ball range includes Tiro and Stellar Match entries.

Choose Skills Mini or futsal for a different purpose

Skills Mini options include T90 and national-team designs. Choose a mini ball for skills practice or collecting, and check the individual model's size and construction. For futsal, compare Maestro Futsal with Maestro Futsal Pro. Don't substitute a regular ball simply because its numbered size matches.

Check size before the final graphic

Nike recommends confirming the required ball size with the player's league or association. Once you know that requirement, compare the model and size before choosing a team design such as Brazil Academy or USMNT Home Academy. The broader soccer ball collection provides other brand and team choices if you want to widen the comparison.
