BERLIN, Dec 1 (Reuters) - The city of Berlin hopes to set a record six months before the start of the World Cup by staging the world's biggest table football competition.

The "Tischfussball-Turnier" will take place on Dec. 9, the day of the draw for the real World Cup and six months before the big kick-off in Munich on June 9.

The venue will be Berlin's Olympic Stadium, which will stage the World Cup final on July 9.

Organisers are hoping 2,000 people will participate in the table football tournament.
