One of the key objectives of World Boccia is to ensure that athletes who compete in international competition are able to do so on an equal basis, including having access to the same equipment and in particular boccia balls.
Since 1st January 2022, only balls from licensed manufacturers can be used in sanctioned World Boccia events and this has led to improved competitive conditions and fairness for all athletes.
The World Boccia ball licensing process coincides with the Paralympic cycle and licenses must be renewed during the year of the Paralympics and begin on the 1st of January the year after.
Following an open call and a stringent assessment process, World Boccia have announced the following manufacturers of boccia balls as World Boccia Approved Ball Suppliers for 2025-2028:
