The Danish reference — Numero 10, Brillant Super and more


Select soccer balls: the Danish benchmark

Founded in Denmark in 1947, Select is one of the few brands to have specialized almost exclusively in the ball. It's known for its hand-stitched balls and the consistency of their touch — a benchmark among players and clubs who want a ball that behaves the same match after match.

The flagship models

The Numero 10 is the most popular model in the range, offered in FIFA Basic as well as FIFA Quality Pro depending on the version — an excellent balance of price and performance. The Brillant Super is the premium match ball, built for competition. Alongside them are low-bounce futsal balls and more affordable training models.

Hand-stitched: why it matters

Hand stitching allows more even tension across every panel, which gives a more stable shape over time and a softer touch. It's the Select signature, at a time when many brands have moved to thermal bonding.

What size should you choose?

Select balls come in size 3 (ages 3 to 7), size 4 (ages 8 to 12 and futsal) and size 5 (13 and up, official match). If you're torn between two sizes for a young player, stay with the smaller one recommended for their age. Our size guide has the full chart with circumferences and weights.

Which Select for which use?

For league matches, aim for a FIFA Quality or Quality Pro model. For daily training, a thicker training model will last far longer, especially on synthetic turf. For the gym, choose a low-bounce futsal ball.

What sets Select balls apart?

Founded in Denmark in 1947, Select specialized almost exclusively in the ball. Its signature is hand stitching, which allows more even tension across every panel — so a more stable shape over time and a softer touch than many thermally bonded balls.

Is the Numero 10 a match ball?

It depends on the version. Some are FIFA Basic certified, meant for training and recreational play; others are FIFA Quality Pro and built for matches. Check the certification noted on the product page.

What's the difference between the Numero 10 and the Brillant Super?

The Numero 10 is the most popular all-round model in the range, with excellent price-to-performance. The Brillant Super is the premium match ball, built for competition, with a superior construction and touch.

What sizes do Select balls come in?

Size 3 (ages 3 to 7), size 4 (ages 8 to 12 and futsal) and size 5 (13 and up, official match). If you're torn between two sizes for a young player, stay with the smaller one recommended for their age.

Which Select ball for daily training?

A training model with a thicker casing will last far longer than a match ball, especially on synthetic turf, which is highly abrasive. Save the match ball for games.

Are Select balls more durable?

Their stitched construction stands up well to repeated use and holds its shape over time. That said, on asphalt or concrete, a street soccer ball built for abrasion is still the better fit.

Does Select make futsal balls?

Yes, with a reduced bounce (low bounce) designed for indoor play on hard surfaces, mainly in size 4 and in size 3 for younger age groups.
