Sport Bild daily in all FIFA World Cup stadiums

Just in time for the World Cup, the sports magazine Sport Bild is launching the only daily World Cup newspaper that will be available in stadiums and at fan festivals throughout Germany. This was announced by Axel Springer Verlag. Sport Bild täglich is being produced in cooperation with Medienfabrik Gütersloh and FIFA and will be included free of charge with the official program magazine from June 9, 2006. In addition to top World Cup topics, the magazine offers an eight-page preview of all the matches of the day, match reports and information on the previous day's games, a daily World Cup TV planner and two extra pages with reports on the German national team. The latter will contain amusing and personal stories directly from the German team. The editorial deadline for the newspaper is one o'clock in the morning. "With the World Cup newspaper, we are implementing our motto 'Closer is not possible' in an ideal way," commented Ralf Koslowski, General Manager of Sport Bild, on the launch. Anyone who was unable to get a ticket for a stadium match can download an e-paper version free of charge from June 7 at www.sportbild.de.
