SELECT Sport

LEGENDARY SINCE 1947

SELECT Sport was founded in 1947 by Eigil Nielsen, goalkeeper for the Danish national soccer team, who devoted his life to create the perfect ball. The name of the company was given because of the exclusive leather that was specially selected for the ball production. By producing many of the ball industry’s groundbreaking creations such as the first laceless soccer ball, the first ball with 32 panels and balls made of synthetic leather, SELECT naturally became a trendsetter.

3 MILLION BALLS SOLD PER YEAR

SELECT is known as the ball specialist. We sell over 3 million balls every year, and we are the largest supplier of handballs.

SELECT is also an official ball supplier to many of the best soccer leagues in Europe, including the German Bundesliga, making SELECT the largest league partner.

Our large selection of balls, sportswear and sports accessories can be found in more than 50 countries.

SELECT STANDS FOR QUALITY

SELECT’s hand-stitched soccer balls, futsal balls and handballs retain their perfect balance, touch, bounce and flight for thousands of hours, even with severe pitch and weather conditions.

Our quality standards are the highest in the industry, even higher than those of FIFA when it comes to the best match balls.

Everything from stitching, surface, sphericity, circumference, weight to airtightness and printing inks is inspected before we deliver our products.

We have been developing balls for 75 years, and the passion for innovative craftmanship still lives on in our daily work.

Soccer, futsal and handball matches around the world are played with balls built on Eigil Nielsen’s original principle of 32 panels, just as most balls produced worldwide are based on SELECT’s inventions.

SELECT yearly donates more than 5.000 different balls mainly to charity projects for children in African countries via acknowledged organizations and
private projects. Also, schools in Greenland and hardly challenged groups of people around the world have received balls from us in different occasions.

Finally, we support and have produced special footballs to a project called “Red Card to Racism” through the Danish Players Union.
