Part of its global sponsorship of next year's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

Orange says it will deliver a 'whole host of exciting products and services' associated with EURO 2012 across its 11 key European markets.

It will also provide all fixed and wireless telecommunications services within Poland as part of UEFA’s worldwide distribution solution.

Orange’s rights also include the creation of premium products using a combination of the Orange and EURO 2012 logos and imagery.

Olaf Swantee, EVP of operations in Europe for Orange said: “This is a significant and exciting announcement for Orange.  It is the largest pan-European sponsorship project we have ever done and a testament to the strength of our brand and its growth across Europe.

"We put people, as UEFA puts its fans, at the centre of our values.  It's a great fit – and together we bring customers and fans closer to the things they love."
