Millions of people are eagerly awaiting this unique festival of sport and friendship. We are looking forward to top-flight football. We are looking forward to watching both the sport's "major" nations and those teams that have made it to the World Cup finals for the first time. And we are looking forward to fans from all over the world who will be making our cities even more colourful and vibrant. You are all most sincerely welcome!
Germany is passionate about football and open to the world. Everyone in the country will be playing their part wholeheartedly to make the FIFA World Cup 2006 an absolutely unforgettable event. A fact especially accentuated by the many thousands of volunteers who have come forward to offer their help.
Germany is well prepared for the FIFA World Cup: new, modern stadiums and an excellent transport infrastructure are already in place. The organisation, which is the task of the Organisation Committee headed by Franz Beckenbauer, could not be in better hands. The motto "A time to make friends" also symbolises the fact that everyone will be able to enjoy a secure and friendly football festival.
The FIFA World Cup is a unique opportunity for Germany to present itself to the world as a hospitable, cheerful and modern land of ideas. I am convinced that the spark of enthusiasm and understanding among nations at the FIFA World Cup will spring from Germany to the entire world.
