The prize for finding one is free entry to the Goal Power exhibition at Brighton and Hove Museum and Art Gallery.

Goal Power is a celebration of the women who have dedicated their lives to the “beautiful game”, making it as popular as it is today.

Jody East, who curated the exhibition, said: “This has been a wonderful summer so far for women’s football.

“We want everyone to have a go at football whether you’ve played before or not.

“Have a look out for our footballs and have a go, then come and see our fantastic exhibition looking at the trailblazers in women’s football who have changed the game through history.”

People who discover a ball should take it with them to the gallery or take a selfie and present it at the entrance.

The competition, which starts today, is also to encourage people to get involved and have a kick about.

It comes as England have made it through to the final of the Women’s Euros, after smashing Sweden in a four nil thriller at Bramall Lane on Tuesday.

The England squad are enjoying a stellar run of games, their most notable perhaps being thrashed Norway eight nil under the lights at the Amex earlier in their campaign.

England hosts scored six times in a rampant first-half display, with Georgia Stanway’s 12th-minute penalty and a finish from Lauren Hemp three minutes later being followed by a brace apiece from Ellen White and Beth Mead.

The demolition job was watched by a crowd of 28,847, from which cries of “football’s coming home” rang out at various stages as England’s unbeaten run under boss Sarina Wiegman extended to a 16th match with a 14th victory.
