[00:04.79]38. 2006 FIFA World Cup Openning Ceremony Address
[00:11.55]Welcome to the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany. 
[00:16.10]Seventeen years after the fall of the Berlin wall, 
[00:18.78]a reunified Germany will throw open its doors to the world. 
[00:22.94]Germany 2006 will be a place where people from all around the world will be welcomed by friends, 
[00:29.89]in the spirit of the string slogan chosen by the organizers: Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden. 
[00:36.93]The tournament is being held on the finest stage in the world, 
[00:40.56]one whose symbolism far transcends the boundaries of sport. 
[00:51.41]Hark back to Germany's triumph at the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland, 
[00:50.77]which sealed the country's return to the international fold in the most beautiful manner possible. 
[00:57.48]In 2006, Germans will have the opportunity to rectify certain cliches and preconceived ideas. 
[01:05.50]The world will have the chance to see what a fantastic country Germany truly is: 
[01:11.41]the beauty and diversity of its landscapes, its rich cultural heritage and the intelligence and good humour of its people. 
[01:18.70]As for the legendary German work ethic and organisational skills, 
[01:22.93]I am pleased to say those perennial qualities are alive and well-and we at FIFA are only too happy to take advantage of them. 
[01:31.11]For at all levels, the overall investment in any World Cup tournament is immense. 
[01:37.60]The event is financially supported by the German state, 
[01:41.35]but also by the "Lander" and the Host Cities. 
[01:45.90]I would like to take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt thanks to all those 
[01:50.86]who are currently working with such passion and commitment to make the occasion a memorable one.
[01:57.33]The 2006 tournament will be a vastly different affair.

[02:01.56]Thirty-two teams will have qualified, including five from Africa, 
[02:05.67]all of whom now perform at a far higher level. 
[02:09.51]Just remember how Senegal upset the odds in Korea and Japan in 2002. 
[02:15.35]The same can be said for Asian teams, 
[02:19.90]who produced a semi-finalist last year something which would have been unthinkable back in 1974! 
[02:25.66]These performances bear witness to FIFA's efforts in the last quarter of a century to help the nations of the football world to compete on an equal footing. 
[02:35.82]I will have the immense pleasure of welcoming you amongst my friends in Germany. 
[02:41.60]We look forward to seeing you in 2006 to celebrate this unity! 
[02:45.48]Joseph S. Blatter 
FIFA President
