Join Tom and Alan on Rebuild Procurement as they take a look at the fascinating journey of the soccer ball, from pig bladders to high-tech, sensor-embedded precision spheres. Discover how material science and global sourcing shape every kick on the field—because even soccer balls have a supply chain that’s a real goal! Learn why Pakistan stitches over 70% of the world’s premium balls by hand and how innovation is kicking in with connected smart balls. If you think the hardest kick is just on the field, wait until you hear about the battle to control costs and risks behind the scenes. Join us for this and much more on today's episode.
