This is the new Umbro Stealth Pro match ball, which was used for the first time in England's friendly match against Egypt at Wembley on March 3rd, 2010. Also pictured are the new England Away goalkeeper gloves, which will also be worn for the first time in the match.
Both will be available through the FSC Shop
The Umbro Stealth Pro, the first ball to feature Umbro's new 14 panel construction. It’s made from a special Japanese microfibre, which offers more power and touch control to the player. As you can see in the pictures, the ball features a unique crest for each game, and is individually numbered – only fifty are made for each occasion.

Speaking about matchballs, what are the matchballs being used in the brazil v ireland and the portugal v china friendlies? They certainly look odd...
Apparently they were one-offs produced by Nike as part of their Nike(RED) campaign to provide help for AIDS victims in Africa.
