Thank you very much for your help!   That did the job.  Now my pdf a soccerball appears :)

This way I can put which players have how many goals by putting soccerballs next to their names !

$ cat sb2.tex
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily{\uni}{Unifont}

\begin{document}

{\uni%
\symbol{"26BD}
}

\end{document}

$ xelatex sb2.tex
