As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hand-sewn and dual-bonded balls, we have continued to innovate and expand our line of products since our founding father, Eigil Nielsen, created the first SELECT ball in 1947. We are now official match ball supplier in 12 of Europe’s top football leagues, including several leagues in the United States, stating our position as the number one league partner. We are proud to now include Liga Portugal and to be represented in their 1st and 2nd league as well as the Allianz CUP. Another major addition to our league partnerships is the Bundesliga. 2020 will be our third year for our German subsidiary DERBYSTAR as official match ball in the Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga – ranked as one of the best soccer leagues in the world by FIFA. We know that our actions matter. We are continuously taking sustainable steps in our production, packaging and business partner efforts. To name a few, we have reduced our use of plastic in our Profcare Supports and garment packaging, and we are introducing recycled polyester in parts of our sports clothing as well as water-based ink for our soccer balls. Furthermore, we are continuing our long-standing Health & Education Pro- gram at our production facilities in Pakistan that focuses on medical as- sistance for the workers and their family including schooling incentives for the children. We have now expanded our equipment range substantially to provide the training tools needed for players and leagues at all levels. SELECT’s training equipment range has been thoughtfully developed with input from professional players, coaches and youth players alike. The same commitment to the highest quality standards for soccer balls is applied to the 2020 equipment range. We are player’s choice and our ongoing mission is to develop high quality products for all players. Welcome to our catalog for 2020. THE ORIGINAL 32 PANEL BALL CONSTRUCTION Every single soccer, handball and futsal ball from SELECT is based on the A ball with optimum roundness is essential to obtain reliable aerodynamic revolution from 1962, where our founder, Eigil Nielsen, invented a ball made - a straight flight and a controlled bounce. Our finest soccer ball, BRILLANT of 32 panels. The overriding desire was to create the most reliable ball with SUPER, has just been thoroughly tested in a wind tunnel at the Institute of the most predictable, straight flight and a bounce neither too high nor too low. Health & Sports Science at the University in Tsukuba, Japan. The results show that BRILLANT SUPER has a better aerodynamic than other top balls It was impossible to make a perfectly round ball with just 18 panels, which in the market. The ball’s classic construction with 32 panels means that the was the standard construction of a ball in the past. With the 32 panels - 20 ball meets resistance at a later point in its trajectory through the air, thus hexagons and 12 pentagons - SELECT succeeded in creating the roundest retaining a steady, high speed over a longer period of time. This provides a ball ever seen. Later, a group of American scientists won the Nobel Prize for stable and more predictable flight – highly valued by all soccer players. discovering that the molecules of carbon with a special irradiation organize themselves as a complete round ball - something Eigil Nielsen had already All of our balls today are still based on Eigil Nielsen’s original invention of the discovered and realized in his soccer ball with 32 panels, why the reinvention 32 panel ball construction, as we never compromise on quality, playability was named “the soccer ball molecule”. or durability. THE OPTIMUM ROUNDNESS A soccer ball with optimum roundness is essential to obtain reliable aerodynamics and superior playability. Hidden behind the elegant exterior of the soccer balls in our Pro and Club Series is a specially developed Zero-Wing bladder made of high performance natural latex. The Zero-Wing concept, ensures a perfectly round and bal- anced ball, always maintaining its shape through impact, resulting in a straight flight and a controlled bounce. PERFECT FLIGHT As SELECT soccer balls have a perfect and stable flight, the trajectory of the ball is easier to estimate correctly - the player´s skills determine where the ball goes – not the ball’s unpredictable flight.

  • Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.
