The elements of a soccer ball contain three parts and they are: Surface/cover which is made out of synthetic leather (there are different types of leather which can be used for the surface of the ball and these include, Korean Ducksung, PU, PVC, AI-2000 and Japanese Cordley. Professional soccer balls are usually made from one of these materials.), internal linings which are made out of either polyester or cotton, and the bladder of the ball which is usually made from latex or butyl.
The thickness of a soccer ball plays an important part in the quality of the finished ball when it is hand sewn, because multiple layers of lining are placed between the cover and the bladder and these are usually made from either polyester or cotton. There are usually four layers of lining in professional soccer balls, but when it comes to practise or promotional balls, they are made with fewer layers.
The bladder of the soccer ball is what holds the air. There are two types of material for the bladder of the ball, latex and butyl and the latter retains air for longer but the latex bladders offer better surface tension, so either material can offer a good finished product.
