ADIDAS GIVES BAFANA A WARM WELCOME IN GERMANY

Adidas have gone out of their way to ensure that the South African national football team – Bafana Bafana – have a good and comfortable stay while they spend three weeks for their training camp in Germany.

“The team will be staying at the Ramada Hotel, which is a stone’s throw from the state-of-the-art adidas training ground – the Adi Dassler Sports Platz. We have prepared a media week from the 19^th to the 23^rd of April 2010, where we will take journalists from around the world on a tour of the our facilities including the Walk of Fame, the Brand Centre and the world famous Scheinfeld factory,” says Zobuzwe Ngobese, the public relations manager at adidas South Africa.

The Bafana Bafana team are expected to travel in luxury Mercedes Buses, which are branded with SAFA, Adidas and the Jabulani ball – something that will make the South Africans easily recognizable in Germany.

The global sports manufacturing company is also expected to launch the ball that will be specifically used during the final of the World Cup next week. Danny Jordaan, Franz Backenbauer, Carlos Alberto Parreira and the Bafana Bafana squad are expected to attend this special Adidas event.
