For us, it was never just about the ball. It was about what the ball represents: community, passion, and the unwavering spirit of a team. We are Nabeel Arshad and Nadeem Murad, and our story begins not in a boardroom, but on the sun-drenched fields of our childhood.
Soccer was the language we shared. It taught us about teamwork, discipline, and the sheer joy of a perfectly executed goal. That shared passion is the foundation of Customize Soccer, but it was a journey back to our roots that gave it a true mission.
The idea crystallized on a trip to Sialkot, Pakistan—the undisputed global heart of soccer ball craftsmanship. Nabeel brought Nadeem, his childhood friend from Bahrain, to the city his own grandfather came from. We were there to witness the magic firsthand. We saw generations of artisans, whose hands possessed an incredible, almost genetic, skill for stitching and crafting the world's best soccer balls. Their dedication was inspiring.
But we also saw a disconnect. An industry ripe for change. These master craftsmen were creating the symbols of team pride for players thousands of miles away, yet their own story was often left untold. We knew we could build a bridge.
We founded Customize Soccer on a simple premise: to fuse the world's finest craftsmanship with modern technology, and to do it in a way that honors everyone involved in the game.
When you design a ball with us, you’re not just getting a superior product. You’re becoming part of a bigger story. You are supporting a legacy of craftsmanship and investing in a more equitable future for the artisans who bring our beloved game to life.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
