A regulation soccer ball is comprised of both hexagons and pentagons.
Soccer balls have different patterns, but if you have both regular pentagons and regular hexagons it must have 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.

Count them
There need not be any. The official ball for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, called the Brazuca, was made from six rounded cross-shaped pieces.
They have hexagons and pentagons on it.

On an official soccer ball you will find 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. There are 60 points in which the corners of the hexagons and the hexagons connect, and the hexagons and the pentagons connect. The 20 hexagons are white, while the 12 pentagons are white.

On a soccer ball there are 12 pentagons and any practical number of hexagons that can make the soccer ball look spherical.
Maybe its just like that but not all footballs are with hexagons EG=jabulani
A soccer ball with 12 regular hexagons and 20 regular pentagons follows the pattern of a truncated icosahedron. Each hexagon has 6 edges, and each pentagon has 5 edges. Therefore, the total number of edges on the soccer ball can be calculated by multiplying the number of hexagons by 6 and the number of pentagons by 5, then adding these products together. Total edges = (12 hexagons * 6 edges per hexagon) + (20 pentagons * 5 edges per pentagon) Total edges = 72 + 100 Total edges = 172 Therefore, a soccer ball with 12 regular hexagons and 20 regular pentagons has 172 edges.
