Removing Background to Laser Image

Hi all, I’m attempting to laser this on a cutting board however, when I put it in vector it removes the background which I want but it also it is also taking out the black parts of the soccer ball which I don’t want. I tried using gray scale but it keeps the entire background. I’ve also tried removing the background as well. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Zmoholt,
Open the image in inkscape and convert to SVG.
Luban has problems with that Image backgrounds.
