Fresh from his first public appearance on Saturday night TV, Official Mascot of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Goleo VI, has already completed his second appointment as he joined Germany internationals Bernd Schneider and Robert Huth on Monday in Leipzig to open the twelfth FIFA World Cup Shop

FIFA distribution partner Karstadt Quelle AG currently offers an exclusive range of merchandise via FIFA World Cup Shops in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Hanover, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dortmund, Essen, Cologne, Nuremberg and Kaiserslautern, with around 300 outlets planned in the run-up to 2006.

The Leipzig Shop premiered the first Goleo VI products following a positive worldwide response to the character just hours after his debut appearance.

Goleo VI and his trusty sidekick Pille are set to add a touch of FIFA World Cup flair to Wednesday's prestige friendly international between Germany and Cameroon.
