BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine never having to pump up a soccer ball, never having a graveyard of flat balls in your backyard, and impacting youth to reach their full potential through the power of play. Meet the One World FutbolTM—the unpoppable ball for unstoppable kids that gives back.

For youth living in challenging environments, soccer balls are not easy to come by. Ordinary inflated balls don’t last and, when popped, they instantly become trash. One World Play Project has solved this problem by creating ultra-durable products that enable lasting play for all. Inspired by refugee youth, the unpoppable One World Futbol represents a breakthrough in design and technology in a product that has seen little innovation—the ball. Made of a proprietary foam formula, the nearly-indestructible ball never needs a pump and never goes flat, even when punctured or driven over by a car. It is designed to withstand the toughest playing conditions in the world. Where ordinary balls fail, the One World Futbol continues forward so kids everywhere can keep playing.
“When you purchase a One World Futbol, you can get or give a gift that lasts for years, requires no maintenance, and makes an impact,” said Lisa Tarver, co-founder and chief impact officer at One World Play Project. “By offering consumers the opportunity to make a difference for youth through something as simple as the purchase of an unpoppable ball, we hope to remind people of the true spirit of holiday giving. Together, we can ensure children have access to play—no matter who they are, where they come from or where they live.”
Four Easy Ways to Give Play
Consumers don’t have to make a big investment to have a huge impact. Every purchase brings lasting play to the next generation of kids.
