From the 2023-2024 season, the entire Jupiler Pro League will play with a Kipsta ball. During the Cup final, its predecessor, the Kipsta F950, suddenly found itself flat. Is there a problem ?
When Marco Kana blocked a shot, Owusu took the ball in his hands and showed he was flat. Does this indicate problems? “No”, answers Vincenzo Verhoeven, former professional footballer and manager at Kipsta, to Het Laatste Nieuws. “There’s no reason to worry. A ball that’s deflated after 120 minutes, for whatever reason, can happen.”
At Decathlon, they don’t make an article out of it. “It was a less inflated ball compared to the other thirty used during the match. We must not amplify this. The F950 carries the FIFA quality mark and meets all the guidelines. If something is not really didn’t go with our ball, the players would have told us that already.”
