Brazilian football legend Pele visited Berlin on Wednesday to inaugurate an exhibition dedicated to his footballing career, one of several events taking place in the build up to the opening game of World Cup 2006.
The exhibition, PeleStation - the Legend in Action, contains two 40 metre (43 yard) wide projections of images highlighting Pele's remarkable playing career.
PeleStation was opened in a tunnel of a subway station in Berlin.
Pele's popularity cuts across generations and fans came in large numbers to see the Brazilian.
With football fever at a high, Pele turned nostalgic and told the media he was extremely satisfied with the way his career panned out.
PeleStation was designed and created by a Brazilian company with the close cooperation and support of Pele himself.
Meanwhile, the car manufacturer BMW gave 32 Mini cars to the ambassadors of the countries participating in the World Cup, part of the 'Berlinizer' campaign to promote Germany as a friendly host.
The cars will be driven until July 9 by the ambassadors or by people participating in the 'Berlinizer' campaign.
For the ambassadors who live in Berlin, the handover of the cars was a special moment.
The ceremony took pace in the same place that former US President John F Kennedy once said: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I'm a Berliner).
Marketing company Partner Berlin launched the campaign to encourage Germans to open up to guests and friends.
To become a 'Berlinizer', visitors have to log on to the Internet and answer some questions about Berlin.
Those who answer correctly win a badge marked with "I'm a Berlinizer please ask me for help".
Organisers hope that visitors to the city can approach those wearing the badges to ask for assistance or help.
Also in Berlin, the popular German sports brand Adidas has built a special arena where fans can experience an atmosphere similar to the city's famous Olympia Stadium.
The massive arena, built next to the spectacular Reichstag - the German Parliament building, will have live screenings of all World Cup games.
The English were also getting involved in publicity events in the run up to the tournament.
A British tabloid newspaper arranged for a giant beach towel, emblazoned with England's St. George cross, to be spread across a stand at the
Olympiastadium in Berlin.
The newspaper says the 7,578 square-foot (704-square-metre) towel is the world's largest, though the Guiness Book of World Records is still in the process of verifying this claim.
A team of ten unfurled the towel to send a message of support to the English World Cup squad.
The publicity stunt plays upon a popular British view that stereotypes German tourists as always seeking to reserve sun loungers with their towels before British holidaymakers can reach them.
