This ball is the official match ball, so it's designed for use on grass (but can also be used on dirt). Because it's the official ball, the surface is treated to prevent peeling, so it's resistant to peeling even when used on dirt. I haven't used it much, and I used it on dirt a while ago, so the surface is a little dirty, but it hasn't peeled. If you want a Captain Tsubasa ball, please consider buying it. I'm open to price negotiations!
