Molten’s Vantaggio 3135 features the same build technology, bounce and flight characteristics as Molten’s international matchballs – at around 80% of the weight. The lighter weight reduces the chances of injury from being struck by the ball, a particular problem for walking footballers, in-goal and out, while making the ball easier to strike. A 6mm foam underlay offers additional feel and protection.
The 3135 is machine-stitched and bonded to ensure water absorption is kept to a minimum, helping keep its weight consistent. A high-quality latex bladder and textured TPU surface means the 3135 retains the same flight and bounce as a standard Molten matchball, avoiding any ‘fly away’ characteristics.
The bright yellow colourway makes the 3135 easier to pick out for ageing eyes. Indeed, Vantaggio’s new symmetrical design incorporates diamond shapes to ensure optimal visibility of the ball all over the pitch.
The 3135 has been tested extensively across Europe’s walking football community.
The 3135 is part of a six-strong family of new Molten footballs designed for the 2025-26 season. The range also includes the FIFA Quality Pro Vantaggio 5000, the Official Matchball of CONCACAF, recently used by Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The new range of Vantaggio footballs will be available to purchase online and from local stockists from July 1st.
What is Walking Football?
Walking football allows footballers, men and women, to play well into the latter stages of their football life. Players walk instead of run. It’s non-contact and suitable for people of all abilities, including players returning to football after injury or those with mobility issues.
The sport also has an important role in tackling loneliness, re-integrating older players, particularly isolated men, back into a social environment. The age groups are split into Men’s over 50’s, over 60’s and over 70’s. Women’s over 40’s, over 50’s and over 60’s.
The Walking Football Association (WFA), the national governing body for the sport in Great Britain, have registered over 1,500 clubs and more than 60,000 players.
