Football history From as far back as the Telstar used at Mexico 1970, the first ever adidas FIFA World Cup ball, adidas have been dedicated to propelling football technology into the future, always innovating and never settling for the ordinary. The distinct 32 white and black leather panels that comprised the Telstar made it the roundest ball of its time. Meanwhile the Tango used at Argentina 1978 was so futuristic that it formed the blueprint for the next five FIFA World Cup footballs. The 2002 and 2006 editions of the FIFA World Cup ushered in football revolutions in their own right, showing adidas' ability to keep ahead of the game, in a world in which technology is changing faster than ever before. From that first 32 white and black paneled Telstar to the eight-paneled synthetic masterpiece that is 'Jabulani', adidas have maintained a standard is line with their core value "impossible is nothing.
