The picture of the ball in the ad clearly shows that it is "FIFA Inspected". Based on that criteria, I purchased four balls to use as "match balls" for my sons club team. I was very disapointed when the balls that arrived did not have the "FIFA Inspected" logo. The picture is very misleading.
The "FIFA Inspected Logo" is the sign of a good quality match ball. The following is from the FIFA website:
"There are two levels of criteria for the three designations. Footballs applying for the category FIFA INSPECTED or the technically equivalent IMS - International Matchball Standard must pass the following six rigorous laboratory tests:
1. Weight
2. Circumference
3. Sphericity
4. Loss of Air Pressure
5. Water Absorption(replaced with,Balance test for testing of Futsal balls )
6. Rebound"

I purchased this for a friend as a Christmas gift. He was very very pleased. I think for the price through whichever company I found through Amazon, it was a great deal. It is now very well used.
