Special ball for Euro 2012 final
Posted Monday, July 02, 2012 by SNTV

Intro:

Adidas have revealed a special match ball to be used at the Euro 2012 final in Kiev, Ukraine on Sunday.

Script:

The 'Tango 12' ball has been well received at this year's Euros, unlike the Jabulani ball which was used at the 2010 World Cup.

Now adidas have revealed a special design for their final match ball.

If you look at the pattern, you'll see a silver pattern outlining the shape of the Henri Delauney trophy.

That's the prize Spain and Italy will be playing for on Sunday night.

The ball will be making its debut at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, with Spanish 'keeper Iker Casillas hoping these gloves can keep a firm grip on it.
