Soccket: Kick a Ball, Light a Room
I don't think its just about soccer... Kids can play with this ball during the day, and use it to charge a phone at night. If its incredibly cheap then they can sell to third world countries or perhaps just teach people to make it.

A regular ball and separate kinetic energy source would be cheaper than this device. And would work better. There's no upside here.
