President's Message

"As the game's worldwide governing body, we have a responsibility to support any move to improve football equipment. In raising the actual standard of footballs, the FIFA Quality Concept will also help improve the level of the game."

Joseph S. Blatter
FIFA President

In line with this commitment the FIFA Quality Concept was developed in order to standardize football equipment and to ensure the safety of footballers alongside developments in the industry.

Manufacturers profit from the reliability and credibility of the FIFA Quality Mark. The FIFA name and Quality Marks are protected worldwide through extensive trademark and copyright registration. All licensees are granted certain licensing rights and have access to a marketing services package.

Players and coaches benefit from the playability and consistency of footballs and artificial turf bearing the FIFA hallmarks.

National associations and confederations can rest assured that only equipment specifically suited to top-flight football will qualify for the FIFA Quality Marks.
