GLOBUL and the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) have extended their partnership contract: GLOBUL will be the official mobile operator of the Bulgarian football team until summer of 2010. Under the agreement brokered by BFU's marketing partner SPORTFIVE, GLOBUL will continue to support BFU and the national squads and will advertise its brand and services through the team. GLOBUL will also award a special bonus if the team qualifies for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

GLOBUL's support for the BFU and the national team has been ongoing since 2003 and is among the top priorities in the operator's sponsorship policy.

Sponsorship of the national football team is one of GLOBUL's many activities in support of Bulgarian sports and Bulgarian athletes.

GLOBUL is the trademark under which Cosmo Bulgaria Mobile EAD offers mobile telecommunications services in Bulgaria. The company is 100% owned by COSMOTE (member of OTE Group), the operator with the widest presence in Southeast Europe. As of the end of September 2008, GLOBUL had more than 4 million subscribers; its services cover over 98.92% of the country's territory, making it available to 99.96% of Bulgaria's population. The GLOBUL UMTS network covers 75.7% of the population. Together, GLOBUL and GERMANOS employ more than 2,000 people in the country. At the end of September 2008, COSMOTE Group reached over 18.6 million customers in SE Europe.
