Select Ultimate Replica Handball

Brand Origin and History

The brand SELECT was founded in 1947 by Eigil Nielsen, the goalkeeper of the Danish national football team. It is a pioneer in the sports equipment industry, renowned for developing the first laceless football and later the first 32-panel ball, which became the global standard for ball construction.

Manufacturing and Design

While SELECT is a Danish company with design and engineering centered in Glostrup, Denmark, the majority of its high-quality sports balls are manufactured in Pakistan. Pakistan, specifically the Sialkot region, is the global hub for hand-stitched and high-performance inflatable sports balls, ensuring the durability and precision required for professional play.

Ownership and Global Presence

Today, SELECT remains a private company under the ownership of SELECT Sport A/S. It is the official ball supplier for numerous elite leagues, including the EHF Champions League (featured on this specific ball) and various top-flight European football leagues. The brand is globally recognized as one of the world's leading manufacturers of hand-stitched balls, producing approximately 3 million balls annually.
