The International Motor Show (IAA) Cars is the world's largest exhibition for cars and accessories. Around one million visitors attended the last IAA in 2003 and substantial numbers are also expected to attend this year on the official exhibition open days between September 15th and 25th. "Many exhibition visitors are interested not only in cars, but also in football" according to Alexander Lührs from Continental, "so our draw is the perfect answer." Demand for tickets for the 2006 FIFA World CupTM is high, with the draw via the website www.FIFAworldcup.com already well advanced. Alexander Lührs therefore expects a high level of participation.

Whoever wins will be able to go with a friend to one of the last “Final Sixteen” matches. The admission tickets will be sent out in good time before the 2006 FIFA World CupTM.
