Hi guys,

Just a quick one, I'm thinking of getting an electric ball pump/pressure gauge and was wondering what pressure the football should be, I got a variety of results from Google so wondered what everyone used?

Laws of the game app also has a search function 😄
 
Every FIFA approved / inspected ball will have the recommended pressure printed next to the valve, and even ones that don't have that certification usually will.
 
Law 2

• of a pressure equal to 0.6–1.1 atmosphere (600 –1,100 g/cm^2) at sea level (8.5lbs/sq in–15.6 lbs/sq in)

I have an old altimeter going cheap if anyone needs it for any variation in height above sea level ! ? !
