Chief executive Herbert Hainer unveiled the latest tournament ball in Kiev today, which will be used during Euro 2012.

It represents the 12th major tournament adidas have been involved in, part of a long-standing union with FIFA and UEFA.

However, in the wake of well-publicised scandals that led to the exits of FIFA vice-president Jack Warner and executive committee member Mohammed bin Hammam earlier this year and then the ill-advised remarks of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who initially suggested racial disputes that occurred on the field of play should be sorted out with a handshake, the organisation's reputation has suffered.

Yet Hainer believes the issues will be resolved satisfactorily.

And although he would not confirm adidas had a direct input into ongoing discussions, it does appear the company offered some advice.

"We are committed to football and we are committed to FIFA and UEFA," said Hainer.

"No-one thought we should get out.

"Running away is not a solution. Constructive dialogue and helping is the solution.

"I do believe that the president Mr Blatter takes it very seriously.

"There is not a short-term solution. But I am convinced they will bring it forward."

Hainer needs no reminding adidas were embroiled in their own troubles in South Africa last year, when their lightweight Jabulani ball caused mayhem in the altitude and led to a succession of complaints from World Cup players and managers.

The name has been abandoned.

Next year's ball is simply called 'Tango 12' reviving an old tradition.

The aim of getting a faster, rounder ball continues. But with a different bladder, the bounce should be better.

There is no altitude either and it appears this time around, adidas have even gained support from the goalkeepers' union, who tend to have the greatest complaints over any new ball.

"We have tested the balls intensively, with teams and individual players like Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Villa and goalkeepers like Petr Cech and Manuel Neuer," he said.

"Goalkeepers don't like it when they concede goals but they were both happy.

"The ball has been used in the Europa League already and the comments we have received so far are all very positive."
