Adidas Tango River Plate | 1978 | Winter Ball

The Adidas Tango Durlast was the official match ball of the 1978 FIFA World Cup
in Argentina. It was a revolutionary design that consisted of twenty identical
hexagonal panels with ‘triads’ creating the impression of 12 circles around the
pentagons. The ball was made of genuine leather with a shiny waterproof plastic
coating. The ball was named after the Tango, a dance that originated in Argentina
and reflects the elegance, passion and dynamism of the country.
