Budapest, June 12, 2006

Every day during the FIFA World Cup, Telekom World Cup Park established in the Budapest City Park with the participation of Magyar Telekom and Ringier is open for the public between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. On the other hand there was a Hungarian event in the World Cup. On June 12 six Hungarian children brought the FIFA flag onto the field in the first minutes of the USA –Czech match. The Deutsche Telekom gave this chance for the six children.

Through its parent company Deutsche Telekom, Magyar Telekom is the official partner of 2006 FIFA World Cup. Accordingly, T-Com and T-Mobile have started several World Cup related programs (games, campaigns, promotion events) in the recent weeks offering World Cup tickets and other World Cup connected gifts to the winners.
In addition to that, Magyar Telekom welcomes all visitors at the Telekom World Cup Park in the City Park which is open throughout the whole period of the World Cup (from June 9 till July 9).
This is the perfect place for visitors who want to test their football skills on well-built football grounds, and are ready to move/compete a bit before and after watching the matches. Fans attracted by local or broadcasted matches can fully enjoy the atmosphere of the World Cup here.
In addition to on-site football matches, Telekom World Cup Park offers other entertainments to its guests, too, who can follow the matches on giant projector screens, may try the jumping castle, strand/water football, beer tent and circular bar. At the stands of T-Com, T-Online, and T-Mobile, guests may participate in various games, play table football (foosball) and watch the events on projector screens.
Entrance fee to the Telekom World Cup Park is HUF 500, out of which HUF 200 is deductible from the price of goods purchased at the Park.
Using T-Com’s preferential service offered at the Park, the discounts of the “Favorite Nonstop Plus” tariff package (i.e. HUF 0 minute fees) are valid all day when making calls from the T-Com stand to T-Com numbers; in this way, you can share your experiences with your friends, too. Internet and IPTV can be tried at T-Online, and T-Mobile novelties (“web’n’walk”, a mobile broadband HSDPA service allowing high-speed Internet surfing and digital t-zones contents) can also be enjoyed.
