On June 8, the UEFA Euro 2012 host city of Warsaw, Poland receives the national football team of Greece. Already days before the official kickoff of the 2012 European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, the first team coaches were already in use in their distinctive UEFA's design. Among other things, the German team travelled in a comfortable SETRA ComfortClass 400 coach to its UEFA Euro 2012 camp organized in Gdansk for the first public training, where 11 000 thrilled spectators were waiting for their live performance.

A total of 40 SETRA coaches from the TopClass 400 and ComfortClass 400 lineups will be used during the three-week tournament for the carriage of the teams, as well as for the transport of the officials and their guests. Responsible for the organization is a consortium consisting of three bus-operating companies that have decided, in consultation with the European football association, in favour of the buses produced at Neu-Ulm, Germany, based on their demonstrated quality and safety levels. After the grand finale on 1 July in Kiev, the vehicles will be added to the fleet of the respective bus companies. One fact is already certain: this European championship title goes to SETRA.

Two months before the start of the UEFA Euro 2012 competition, the 40 buses were handed over to the 16 participating teams at the Setra Customer Center. The drivers had been previously trained in a two-day training programme in the areas of safety, efficiency and skill.

The matches of the UEFA Euro 2012 will take place in the Polish football stadiums of Warsaw, Poznan, Wroclaw and Gdansk, and in the Ukrainian stadiums of Kiev, Donetsk, Lviv and Kharkiv.

Starting on 8 June 2012, sixteen national football teams will be fighting for the prized trophy during Euro 2012 in Poland and the Ukraine. Fans can show their support for the German team with accessories and high-quality clothing from the Euro 2012 Selection. Whether you are watching the match in one of the eight stadiums, at a public screening or at home in your living room, you can still cheer along and have a party.

The white jersey is designed in the team-wear style of the German national team, sporting embroidered logos of Mercedes-Benz (in black) and DFB (in gold) on the front. The word "Deutschland" is embroidered in gold on the back of the neck. The unisex polyester jersey is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. The same design model is available in children's sizes 116, 128, 140 and 156 cm.

Football fans will never be offside fashion-wise with the white track jacket with stand-up collar and gold-coloured zipper. It too has the Mercedes-Benz and DFB emblems on the front and the "Deutschland" logo at the back of the neck. The polyester track jacket is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

The standard range also includes the white woven fan scarf with gold "Deutschland" lettering, the Mercedes-Benz woven label and the DFB logo on the ends and the black cap made of cotton with the DFB emblem on the front and the Mercedes-Benz emblem on the back. The cap is available in two sizes for adults and children.

When driving through town in the supporters' convoy you'll need the black, red and gold car flag with the Mercedes-Benz and DFB emblems printed on it. And many people, not just the key players, will pick up the white canvas lanyard with printed Mercedes-Benz and DFB logos or the black calfskin key ring. The latter is decorated with a stainless steel football on the front and a three-dimensional Mercedes-Benz star on the back.

Why not score a goal yourself with the autograph ball? This ball, in a limited edition of only 2012 examples, bears the signatures of all the Germany players as well as the Mercedes-Benz and DFB logos. Size 5 is also the size of the synthetic turf-look football printed with a football pitch and the Mercedes star as the centre circle. The three fluffy footballs in black, red and gold are much smaller, about five centimetres in diameter and can be hung from your rear-view mirror or affixed to the side windows.
