Did you know that in Egyptian tombs, about 2,000 years before Christ, there were already drawings that represented people playing ball? The models varied widely according to time and place. In ancient Japan, soccer balls were made from bamboo fibers. The Chinese wore animal manes, while the Romans used leather straps and bird feathers. Currently, there are leather balls and plastic balls of different types, sizes and colors for each sport.
