He did his first try out for a local team at just 8.

At 12 he already mastered the ball well enough to surprise everyone at the Brunete tournament. He impressed them so much that, in fact, a couple of months later young Andrés would find the doors of the Masia (FC Barcelona’s youth headquarters) wide open.
His effort and technical qualities were constant.

At 16 he was training with the FC Barcelona first team. He made his debut in the 2002-2003 season.
Years later, that same kid scored a goal that shook the whole world.
Andrés Iniesta Iniesta has seized upon every single opportunity in his career. Now you can earn yours.

On June 11 your chance begins. Become an elite footballer and change your life forever.

Get noticed. Get scouted. Get signed.

Make them see you. Make them follow you. Make them sign you.

The players couldn't wait to get their hands on the new boot and see how their recommendations had been used in the design.

Direct from the Caju Training Center: Tuesday's coverage

This morning the Brazilian National Team had its first practice session with the ball. In a reduced size field the athletes worked on ball control and skill in a "two touch" training session, during which the 14 athletes we sponsor wore boots from the Nike Elite Series pack, designed especially for the World Championship.

Soon after the training, they received the support of some very special fans. A group of hearing impaired children was able to come close and express their affection for the players in yellow, who warmly returned the gesture.

During the breaks of the morning and afternoon training sessions, Nilmar and Gilberto attended the traditional press conference. Nilmar stressed the importance of training. "I've gained much recognition in the National Team thanks to the training I've been doing since last year" he stated. When questioned by an Argentinean reporter, he teased saying that our neighbors should be more concerned with Brazil than the other way around.

In his comments, Gilberto spoke of how the experience of the group of players can help the National Team in the battle for the sixth world title.

Tomorrow the Brazilian National Team leaves for South Africa. Stay tuned to our Facebook pages to get information and pictures of the team boarding for the trip.

See this Tuesday's pictures of the National Team's preparations.

For the first stop on the Elite Series tour, the Nike Insider headed back to London and Manchester to give Rooney, Evra, Essien, Walcott and Drogba the first glimpse of the Elite Series.

The insider sat down with the players to show how their input, feedback and testing contributed to the boot that will storm South Africa.

The Total Orange colourway caught Didier's eye; Wayne and Patrick liked the idea of taking weight out of the boot, and Michael summed up the Elite Series pretty enthusiastically: "for me, it's perfect".

Young gun proves deadly

When you’re young, you think you can take on the world – sometimes you’re right.

With his team 2-0 down to Juventus, Marek Hamsik decided enough was enough.

On 58 minutes, he slotted in at the far post to ignite the comeback. But that was just the beginning.

Less than 10 minutes to go, 2-2. Marek ran onto a perfectly cushioned ball and lashed a shot into the top corner for all three points.

Just wait until he’s unleashed in South Africa next year.

"Maradona? He's one of a kind. Nobody is like Maradona, certainly not me.
Sergio Aguero has a style of his own. He's a pure striker, a straight-forward-forward, a young pro that sees nothing in front of him but the goal.

Be your own hero

When Clint Dempsey was 11 he got heart-broken when the news came to Nacogdoches that Maradona would not be playing in the 1994 FIFA World Cup game played in the Cotton Bowl.
