An information package was specifically designed for the tour, including information on the initiative and on other activities where people can join in and win games. A fixed team will hand out this information in central places of the 12 World Cup venues. Throughout the tour, people also have the possibility of registering as an official fan of the initiative “Germany – Land of Ideas”. FanClub Germany currently has more than 20,000 members.
