The best description of the forces acting on the ball is **Balanced forces**.
Since the soccer ball is stationary and at rest, the forces acting on it, such as gravity pulling it down and the normal force from the ground pushing it up, are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero.
