Sports Illustrated for Kids Competitor Series Soccer Ball: Orange Size 3

Orange soccer balls are generally allowed in conditions where the standard white soccer ball would be difficult to see. This usually occurs during winter matches when there is snow on the ground, or in other weather conditions where visibility is compromised. The bright orange color stands out against both white snow and green grass, aiding players, referees, and spectators in following the game's action. The decision to use an orange ball is typically made by the match officials and is in line with the rules and regulations set forth by soccer's governing bodies, such as FIFA, UEFA, or the specific league in which the match is taking place.
