Rarely do three letters conjure such relief in the minds of hungry, homesick travelers. The world's first ATM was unveiled in 1967 at Barclays Bank in Enfield, London. The machine was created by John Shepherd Barron, who headed up the invention team at De La Rue Instruments, and worked by cashing radioactive checks. It was a little more than forty years ago that a call was made from the first handheld mobile phone by its creator, Martin Cooper. Now, it's rare not to be constantly interrupted by the bleeps and vibrations of this pocket-sized computer.

FIFAs new U-20 World Cup Trophy will travel through Auckland in May

Some of the most senior officials from footballs world governing body, FIFA, have given Auckland a huge thumbs up as it prepares to host FIFAs second largest global tournament - the U-20 World Cup in 2015.

FIFA Inspectors were in Auckland today to inspect the Citys host stadium North Harbour and various training venues for this landmark event and agreed that the venue was in great shape to showcase the worlds biggest game.

During the inspection tour, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2015, also announced that the iconic FIFA U-20 World Cup trophy, a brand new trophy for this tournament, had now been entrusted to the LOC and would be taken on a nationwide tour of New Zealand in May.

The trophy will be in Auckland for three days, arriving from Whangarei on 7 May and working its way around the Auckland region before heading to Hamilton.

FIFA U-20 New Zealand 2015 CEO, Dave Beeche said: "Auckland has a fantastic reputation of hosting highly successful world sporting events so we know that this great city will turn it on again for FIFAs second biggest tournament when it hits town on 30 May 2015.

"We are also delighted that Auckland football and sports fans will be among the first in the world to see the new FIFA U-20 World Cup trophy, which will be housed in the city until the tournament begins next year," Beeche added.

One of the FIFA officials inspecting the North Harbour Stadium was the Senior Competitions Manager Rhiannon Martin, who has worked for FIFA for almost 17 years.

She said: "We know how successful FIFA tournaments have been at North Harbour stadium and were pleased to see that the venue will be improved even further by the time the FIFA U-20 World Cup arrives next year. We feel confident that this stadium will be a fantastic arena to showcase the very best young talent that our sport has to offer."

Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED) Chief Executive Brett ORiley was on hand to welcome the FIFA delegation and said that Auckland looks forward to welcoming the worlds best young football stars for this iconic sporting event.
