The size of a soccer ball is roughly 22 cm (8.65 inches) in diameter for a regulation size 5 ball. Rules state that a size 5 ball must be 68 to 70 cm in circumference. Averaging that to 69 cm and then dividing by π gives about 22 cm for a diameter.

An official soccer ball had to be spherical with a circumference of 27 to 28 inches. (According to English Football Association rules of 1872) This size requirement remains the same today.

The weight requirement for soccer balls was increased in 1937 from 13 to 15 ounces to 14 to 16 ounces.

The standard size of a soccer ball used in competitions should be of size 5. Other smaller sizes do exist for players of age younger than 12.

The size 5 ball weighs between 14-16 ounces with a circumference of 27-28 inches.
