The Design and Features of the Official Ball

The official ball for the 2016 Euro Cup was named “Beau Jeu,” which translates to “Beautiful Game” in French, a fitting name for a competition that embodies elegance, skill, and passion. Created by Adidas, the Beau Jeu was the culmination of 18 months of meticulous research and development. The design process aimed to create a football that not only met the stringent standards of performance but also paid homage to the rich culture and history of the host nation, France.
