Zug, Switzerland, 1 July 2011 – InfrontRingier Sports & Entertainment Switzerland, the new joint venture between Infront Sports & Media and Ringier, has been named the Official Corporate Hospitality Sales Partner serving Switzerland and Liechtenstein for the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. Club Prestige – UEFA’s in-stadium hospitality programme – offers companies a unique sports experience at the football spectacle in Poland and the Ukraine, whilst providing at the same time an effective business fundament.

InfrontRingier will be the first point of contact for companies from Switzerland and Liechtenstein that are interested in being live onsite when Europe’s best 16 national teams compete for the title of the European Football Champion. The Corporate Hospitality packages for the UEFA EURO 2012™ comprise prime-location seats for the respective games as well as gourmet cuisine and impeccable services in the stadium.

There are two main categories available: Club Prestige Platinum and Club Prestige Gold, which will include access to a private skybox or business hospitality area, respectively. Customers will be able to choose diverse options including seats, matches and/or stadiums.

After the resounding success of ticket sales for the UEFA EURO 2012™ which registered more than 12 million requests from fans all over the world, the corporate hospitality seats have become increasingly important. Only approximately four percent of available tickets are reserved for corporate hospitality, distributed over the course of the championship over the eight stadiums hosting the games. The opening game will take place in Warsaw on 8 June 2012, the final game in Kiev on 1 July 2012.
