Sport balls were the first non-food product which was Fairtrade Certified. The movement toward Fairtrade Certification of sport balls began in 2001, and was a logical progression from the elimination of child labor in the soccer ball industry in Pakistan.

Fairtrade certified sportsballs are available in Australia and New Zealand, having been launched here during the Football World Cup in 2006.
