A year after winning The Chance, they're part of the squad that took on the Italian giants Inter Milan. Against players from one of Europe's most successful clubs, the team proved that reputation means nothing. Respect your opponent. Fear no-one.

His speciality is scoring goals. Left foot, right foot, headers - he scores them all.

Watch Huntelaar perfect his technique as he trains wearing the new T90 Laser IVs. Created for total accuracy, the new T90 is designed to finish. Unique shot-shield technology improves power without compromising accuracy and reduced fin design creates the added friction to help you hit your target.

Every goal counts

What Is (NIKE)RED?

Lace Up Saves Lives
It’s time to stop wishing for a medical answer to Africa’s medical crisis. Because one already exists. And while it’s only part of a larger solution, it can help millions already dying from AIDS to live dramatically longer and fuller lives.

You can contribute to this just by lacing up a pair of shoelaces in your favourite shoes. Which means that just by going about your own life, you can help save someone else’s. Get involved.

How it works

1. You purchase (NIKE)RED laces.
2. Nike is contributing 100% of its profits from the sale to the Global Fund and to soccer-based programs that help fight AIDS in Africa.
3. Funds are received by programs like Grassroots Soccer, which uses football as a framework to teach youths how to avoid contracting HIV/AIDS.
4. Funds are also contributed to The Global Fund to fund HIV/AIDS programs that support the purchase of lifesaving Antiretroviral (ARV) medication, training of medical staff, HIV testing and treatment to help prevent the transmission of the virus from pregnant mothers to their babies.
5. Life-saving knowledge is received by the next generation in Africa.

Since its inception, (RED)™ partners and events have generated over $135 million to the Global Fund and the number keeps growing.
