1 THE GAME OF FUTSAL BALL COLLECTION

2 WHAT IS FUTSAL? Futsal is an extremely intense and emotional game and therefore also exciting to watch. Besides the fast pace, more goals are scored and there are more shots on goal than in traditional football. The surface, the ball and the rules demand improvisation, creativity and fine technique of all five players on each team. The nature of the game of futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure. It is subsequently an excellent breeding ground for football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a-side format of the game. Many top football players such as Pelé, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo all played futsal in their youth to develop their current skills. Futsal is a fast-growing sport, widely played across the world and officially recognized by both UEFA and FIFA aiming to make it even more popular in the future.

3 INTRODUCING THE NEW FUTSAL BALL COLLECTION We are proud to introduce our new futsal balls. A lot of time and research have been spent in order to create a wide and attractive futsal collection, and we are offering twice as many balls as before covering all needs in terms of balls for this exciting and fast-paced sport. In total we now offer 15 different match and training balls. Their outer design is colorful for improved and the specially developed inner construction guarantees that the ball maintains its high quality and perfect roundness. Furthermore, every ball meets the high futsal standards of size, weight and bounce. The collection has been developed in close cooperation with the Brazilian futsal expert, Aroldo Strack, who has his own futsal academy, Golasso SELECT Futsal Academy. Together with him and the players and trainers from his academy, we have even created a new Futsal Youth Line, which we believe is the best and most specialized in the world.

8 futsal academy All futsal balls from SELECT have been developed in close cooperation with the Brazilian futsal expert, Aroldo Strack, and his futsal academy, Golasso SELECT Futsal Academy. Aroldo Strack is a very experienced coach with A-license for football coaching. He has been coach of the national futsal team of Denmark and is today a highly regarded lecturer in especially futsal. Together with him and the players and trainers from his academy, we have created a new Futsal Youth Line as an innovative part of the general futsal collection. We are proud to be first-movers in the development of specific balls regulated in circumference and weight for each age group. We believe that like in all other team sports, young futsal players need balls that are smaller and lighter and are adjusted and adapted to their age. We have already received positive feedback from various futsal federations in Europe, and they support our philosophy. SELECT has introduced three new balls for U9, U11 and U13 players - the Talento 9, the Talento 11 and the Talento 13.

9 SELECT SINCE 1947 SELECT Sport is one of the world s leading manufacturers of hand-sewn balls. The innovative, Danish company manufactures around three million balls a year and is represented in major parts of the world, also exporting to over 50 countries. In addition to balls, the company s range comprises literally everything within equipment for particularly football, futsal and handball, including sports supports, sports care, goalkeeper gloves, boots and shoes, training equipment and clothing. The company was founded in 1947 by Eigil Nielsen, goalkeeper for the Danish national football team. As something completely new and ground-breaking, Eigil Nielsen created a football with an inbuilt valve and no external thread. Up through the years he and SELECT were the first to bring significant improvements to the market. These included the 32 panel ball from 1962, one of the first ever inventions in ball production. Most balls manufactured around the world today still build on SELECT s revolution from 1962 regardless of the manufacturer. In 2012, SELECT could present yet another milestone in the ball s history, namely the world s first intelligent football, the SELECT iball. Back in 1951, SELECT signed a contract to supply balls for the Danish national football team. A partnership that has continued till today, and is one of the longest sponsorships in the history of football. Since then a large number of other sponsorship agreements with clubs and federations around the world have been made.
