"Sport, and football in particular, has an important role to play in the lives of people: Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else can."

Nelson Mandela

  Racadillo ...play fair... was founded in 2005 and is a family run business. We believe in fair trade principles and ethical business practices.

Whilst our footballs are designed here in the UK by our own designers, all our products are produced by companies in the developing world.

We only use companies that have a clear fair trade policy to ensure that all our products meet the fair trade standards.

We want to make fair trade accessible to all and to help raise awareness.

Racadillo ...play fair... is aware of the impact it has on the environment and is committed to minimising this effect where possible.

Our long term aim is to show there are alternatives out there, without having to sacrifice in style, value and quality.

By purchasing a Racadillo football you are guaranteed the following:

  • A quality range of footballs ranging from a training ball to a professional match ball, all of which are of international standard.
  • A professional and stylishly designed football to suit all your requirements.
  • Up to £1.10 from every ball (depending on standard of ball) which we pay on top of the normal price towards fair wages, a micro credit fund, and a health insurance scheme for the workers of our producer.
  • Helping us support our chosen charities.
  • No Child labor
  • Equal rights for women
  • Safe working conditions for our producers workers.
  • And finally by purchasing from Racadillo you will be showing that there is room for fair trade and that you're willing to truly play fair.
