Zug, Switzerland, 12 November 2004 -- Infront Sports & Media has announced a second, non-exclusive agreement for the radio broadcasting rights of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ with French national radio broadcaster Europe News S.N.C.
 
The agreement is for the territory of France and includes both live and delayed rights for the Opening, Semi-final and Final matches, all matches of the French national team and an additional 25 matches to be selected by Europe News.
