The UEFA unveiled the new adidas TERRAPASS match ball – featuring a design inspired by the northern lights.

The new TERRAPASS match ball will be used during the UEFA European Women's Championship 2009 in Finland and which be the first UEFA European Women's Championship to boast its own match ball.

The new ball took pride of place at the WOMEN'S EURO draw at the Finlandia Hall in Helsinki. The shining light blue and purple colouring and futuristic pattern which give the adidas TERRAPASS its distinct look have echoes of the aurora borealis, the natural light displays which dazzle so many tourists in the Nordic nations.

adidas hope the design honours host nation Finland, which is renowned for combining creativity with tradition as well as innovative product design.

Nike released the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV Berry. This limited edition football boot will be available from 24th November, retailing at £119.99. However, they're selling 'like hotcakes' at the moment, and being a limited edition model you may want to pre-order the boot to avoid disappointment.

What can we say about this new Nike football boot? Well, they're pink for a start, and much talked about at the moment.

There’s no doubt that the Mercurial Vapor has become one of the game’s most successful football boot since it was first launched 10 years ago, having originally been designed for the Brazilian star Ronaldo. In the Premier League they have been worn to great effect by Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba of Chelsea and Manchester City’s Robinho. This is Nike's 8th version of the popular boot.
