Adidas Tango 12 is the official match ball for UEFA Euro 2012. The ball has been remade for use in the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship under the name Adidas Tango 12. The ball was officially presented on 2 December 2011, during the group draw for the final tournament in Kiev.
Based on the classic Tango design used during both the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro tournaments during the early 1980s, the Adidas Tango 12 features a modern interpretation of the design including a colored outline inspired by the flags of the two host nations – Poland and Ukraine. Etched into the Tango design are three bespoke graphics which celebrate the decorative art of paper cutting, a tradition in the rural areas of both host countries and link to the key characteristics of football – unity, rivalry and passion.
Adidas Tango 12 is the fourth incarnation of the Tango ball. It is the 11th official Adidas Euro ball featuring a classic design with a colored outline depicting the flags of Poland and Ukraine, the two host nations.
