Invoking it is not the problem (just say 'xelatex yourtexfile.tex').
But I'd be surprised if this solved your problem. First, xelatex is
not exactly tex, so you'll probably have to change a few things at
least in the preamble of your document. Second, you need a font with
the soccerball character in it. If I had this problem, I'd use google.
