As some of you know I picked up this SMS leather football a few months ago
From what I have read it is unknown what its origins are. After doing a bit of digging on the Internet I came across this video on YouTube advertising a special edition SMS1 with World Soccer packed in from 1990:

In the video I noticed this picture:
It's exactly the same as the football I picked up apart from the leather is green instead of black. The footballer in the video is Walter Zenga who was the starting Goalkeeper for the Italian side in the 1990 World Cup. I managed to find a translation for the commercial, it says:

Looks like the ball was only available as a special offer if you purchased this particular World Soccer edition of the console.
Does anyone here have this console?
