History

It was founded in 1947 by Eigil Nielsen, the former goalkeeper of the Danish national football team.

In the late 1950s or early 1960s, Select manufactured and marketed the first 32-panel soccer ball. Based loosely on the geodesic dome designs of R. Buckminster Fuller, it consisted of 12 black pentagons and 20 white hexagons. The 32 panel configuration became the world standard for several decades. Select was also the first manufacturer of footballs without exterior lacing.
