How to change a soccer ball valve?

The method that I use here has always worked well for me, but I do not take responsibility for my own attempts (especially at Official Match Balls)!

You need:
• replacement valve
• Ball pump
• Repair kit
Before you think about changing the valve, you should check if the valve is broken. Instead, the ball could have a hole or you use too thin a ball needle when inflating.

First you assure yourself that the valve is completely visible and not covered to the hole itself.
Now you need the “Puller”. He pulls the valve out of your ball. Try to get the valve out as a whole, otherwise it will be very tiring and you can use pliers to pull the valve out piece by piece.
Here I photographed on a bubble from a broken Brazuca once the valve with “Puller” from the inside.
If everything worked, you should now have pulled out the old valve. This is definitely broken now and no longer useful.
Get the new valve ready. The most repair kits may only ship basketball and volleyball valves. The rubber ring is a little smaller, but with me these valves keep wonderful!
Your ball no longer has a valve. If it happens to contain foreign particles such as tartan particles, you can now try to get them out.
Now you take the “pusher” and press the valve evenly into the ball, until it “locks” in its desired position. If it does not really work, take a spit to moisten the valve from the outside.
Finally, you pump up the ball on a trial basis.

I hope I could help you. If you want, leave me feedback on the contact page, as you can tell with the instructions.

    My sons ball the valve has been hidden by the ball and I can’t locate it, any idea how to find it?

      Hi Carl! This can be really tricky. Most of the time the valve is not far from its hole. You could try to find it with a ball needle. Just put it into the hole and push it carefully on some spots until you feel the entrance from the valve itself. I can give you further advice if you send me a picture to info@ball-one.de.

      Kind regards!

      Hi Stephen! Replacing a soccer balls valve is really simple and there is no need to ship the ball into different countries. In comparison to the shipping costs it is not worth it. Otherweise email me to info@ball-one.de
