The 50-nautical mile "Sette Giugno" Pozzallo Cruise, now in its seventh edi- tion, is organised by the Malta Cruising Club with the collaboration of the Poz- zallo section of the Lega Navale Italiana and held under the Patronage of the Co- mune of Pozzallo. This year the popular event is being held between Thursday 6 and Sunday 9 June. The sponsorship was finalised during a visit to Malta last week by Fabrizio Manfredi, Sales Support Manager for Italy and Malta for Falken Tyre Europe. Also present at the sponsorship agree- ment meeting was Johann J. Cuschieri, Director of Standard Limited, Malta agents for Falken Tyres. Falken Tyres are continuing their brand strategy of widening their en- gagement in sports sponsorship and creating great opportunity to raise brand awareness. They also sponsor Yoshihide Muroya, a top participant in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship who scooped the title of 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Champion – the first Asian pilot to suc- ceed in this exceptional achievement. This year the tyre brand celebrates its 20th anniversary engagement at the 24-hour race at Nürburgring where Falken Tyre steadily expanded its in- volvement both on and next to the racetrack. 2019 is also the third year in succession where Falken will line up on the grid with two iconic racing cars from premium German manufacturers: Falken Porsche 911 GT3 (Type 991) and Falken BMW M6 GT3. Furthermore, as part of their strategy of growing involvement in team sports, Falken Tyre Europe were also among the official event sponsors of the 2019 IHF Men's Handball World Champion- ship, besides being the main sponsors of the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) team, EWE Baskets Oldenburg.
