FIFA World Cup 1990 Italy

The official match ball of the Italia 90 joined the Tango series, and it was even introduced for the Pope in the Vatican before the tournament. The Tango panels were decorated with Etrusc lions. The ball was made of multi layer synthetic material making the ball waterproof. However, the ball took some blame for the low amount of goals scored during this World Cup. Due to the high demand, the ball was produced in many countries but only the version made in France was used during the Italia 90.
