gametag™ Q&As

What is gametag™?

Gametag™ is a microchip with a unique identification number and is manufactured into our footballs. This chip accesses valuable information about the history of each ball; such as when and where it was manufactured, what team it was made for, if the ball was used in a game, which game and if the ball is available for purchase.

When can I get the app?

The gametag™ app will be available for free download in the Android Play store this fall with later availability in the Apple App store.

How can I see the history of a gametag™ football?

The most exciting way to learn about the history of a gametag™ enabled football is by scanning the actual ball with your smartphone once the app is available. Simply open the app, tap the gametag™ symbol that is stamped on the ball. Upon scanning the ball, the app will give you all the details.

What a great idea! How come you didn’t think of this sooner?
