As part of their sponsorship deal, Continental will equip transfer buses for all 24 qualifying teams taking them all over France to the ten host cities with their premium brand commercial tyres.

An exclusive special edition tyre will be used for the tournament, the Conti Goal HA3, the size 295/80 R 22.5 was developed in Germany by the manufactures engineers. In addition to the team buses, the specifically designed Conti tyres will also be fitted to 20 VIP buses provided by selected transport companies.

The head of global research & development of commercial vehicle tyres at Continental, Geert Roik, has explained that the tyres have been specifially designed to ensure the teams enjoy safe and comfortable travel. He added "What distinguishes the Conti Goal HA3 tyres from the basic Conti CityPlus HA3 product like are the numerous football pictograms in different sizes, the official logo of UEFA Euro 2016 and the orange Continental logo on the newly designed side walls."
