Football (soccer) is the world's most widely played game and most of the time the ball is made by workers in terrible conditions for low pay. Fair Trade Sports provides an alternative ball for those who want to play a game with the knowledge that they are contributing to the livelihoods of others rather than risking workers' lives:

Bringing us sports balls that are third party certified (not internally certified) green and Fair Trade. Fair Trade Sports, Inc is the first sports equipment company in the US to launch a full line of eco-certified Fair Trade sports balls, ensuring fair wages and healthy working conditions for our adult workers. Be sure to also check out our sweatshop-free apparel. We have both an online retail store and wholesale store.

More and more brands are coming to see fair trade as part of the future of sport (Umbro).
