I consider it especially important that the team of Telekom Veszprém represents values also crucial to us: quality, trust and reliability.

„Reliablity and predictability in a partnership guarantees good work and success.

Just like before, it remains our obligation to serve the trust of Telekom and our other sponsors with good results” – said Kálomista Gábor, general manager of Veszprém Handball Team Zrt.

At the press event, further to this announcement the latest „Szurkolói szív” (Cheering Heart) concept of Telekom was also introduced, which will go on all through the summer – and on this occasion two world class players of the Veszprém team, Nagy László and Mikler Roland received the heart shaped special badges, transmitting the „heart beats”.

Using the Fan Heart application anyone in Hungary can express support for their favorite athletes: handball players preparing for the final battles of Champions’ League, football players of club Ferencváros preparing for major European matches or members of the Hungarian Olympic Team training for the Olympic Games in Rio and sponsored by Telekom. The heart worn by athletes vibrates and produces a light signal whenever a heartbeat is received, so athletes will always know how many people are thinking of them, both at home in Hungary or any other place in the world.

We can make the Cheering Heart beat in numerous ways: a beat can be sent anytime and from anywhere by using #egyekvagyunk, as well as by sending a message on the site egyekvagyunk.hu or even with a single click on a button.
