Founded in 1876 in the USA by Albert Goodwill Spalding, the brand is so legendary that it mingles with the birth of several popular sports:

- 1887: manufactures the first american football.

- 1894: introduces the first official basketball.

- 1895: releases the first volleyball.

In the US, the greatest players in the world’s courts only play with one ball: Spalding - the official NBA ball for 25 years.

In Brazil since 2008, it is the official ball of the CBB (Brazilian Basketball Confederation) and in 2009 it became the official ball of the NBB (New Basketball Brazil).

The brand represents the most advanced technical knowledge combined with permanent technological innovation. You feel the difference right when you try a Spalding product.
