How 690 Stitches by Hand Make ONE Football in Sialkot, Pakistan!

How is a football actually made? In Sialkot, Pakistan, skilled craftsmen hand-stitch every ball from 32 panels — 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons — with around 690 stitches, taking about 1.5 hours per ball. From cutting the panels and printing, to stitching, adding the bladder, and final quality checks, this is the full journey of a football, from raw material to the pitch. Sialkot makes 70–80% of the world's hand-stitched footballs. Music: "Inspired" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) — Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License.
