Does anyone know which Balls are used in which leagues?
I Know EPL is the Nike ball with red bits, and Spain is the same ball but with blue bits on it.
What about the others?

In fact Spain has Nike for LFP competitions (Liga) and Adidas for RFEF competitions (Copa del Rey, Supercopa, NT). And Nike switched the Liga ball at some point in the season, for commercial reasons I think.

the same in france; in league play each team uses their kit supplier's ball... for the league cup there's a special uhlsport ball modeled on the trophy, for the coupe de france the fed has everyone use their supplier's ball (adidas)... until last year everyone had to play the CdF in adidas kit as well.

all italian leagues, the home team supplies the ball. I like this way better than one ball in particular.

That's pretty amateurish. You'd be playing with a different ball every week.
