The San Siro stadium is located in western Milan and is the home of both AC Milan and Internazionale Milano. The stadium opened in 1926 with a capacity of 26 000. Today the capacity is 80 074 and the stadium sometimes hosts the Italian national team and Italian national rugby team. In 2009 Italy played the New Zealand All Blacks in front of a sold out crowd, a record for Italian rugby.
The official name of the stadium is Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, named in honour of the two-time World Cup winner (1934, 1938) who played for both Internazionale and AC Milan.

Lionel Messi has been one of the poster boys for the Adidas F50, though in fact he has preferred the F30 himself. Mainly because the F30s have fixed-sole studs which he favours.

Adidas have provided the official FIFA World Cup balls since the 1970 tournament. Pictured is the Teamgeist ball Adidas produced for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. For the 2010 FIFA World Cup it was the Jabulani ball they introduced to the football world. Adidas first started to produce balls in 1963.
