User:RidingLessons/One World Futbol

The One World Futbol is an extremely durable football (soccer ball) that does not require inflation. It was designed to resist puncture that would otherwise deflate an ordinary football. The football is intended to be used in impoverished places where balls are not easily repaired or replaced. Timothy Jahnigen invented the One World Futbol after visiting a refugee camp in Darfur, Sudan where he watched a game played with an improvised ball. The football is FIFA regulation size 5 and weight. It is made of closed cell foam and manufactured in Canada. The One World Futbol Project Foundation is the non-profit division responsible for international charity. British singer Sting is a primary financial contributor.
