The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has already held its fair share of momentous events, starting with American sprinter Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games.

Now after a 242 million Euro facelift, on July 9th a global audience of well over a billion is set to follow the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final live from the stadium on TV.

SUGGESTED VOICEOVER:

After a turbulent history Berlin, the country's largest city, has once again become the capital of a united Germany, the Brandenburg Gate symbolising this re-unification.

The city became the political centre of Brandenburg, Prussia and the German Reich.

After the foundation of the German Reich in 1871, the city progressed quickly to become Germany's largest industrial and cultural centre. The Second World War (1939-1945) triggered by the National Socialists, the Nazis, had a devastating effect on Berlin and led to the destruction of large parts of the city. Subsequent political developments divided the country and its capital: The building of the Wall in 1961 brutally completed this separation.

The Wall did not come down again until 1989, when the people from West and East Berlin were finally reunited.

Berlin is not only the seat of the government and cultural capital, but also Germany's sports city. More than 525,000 male and female athletes are registered in about 1,900 clubs.

Like the city the The Berlin Olympic Stadium has a long and distinguished history. Originally designed by architect Werner March it was built between 1934-36 for the 1936 Olympic Games.

American sprinter Jesse Owens won four gold medals at those games and today, one of the avenues leading to the ground and a VIP lounge bear the great runner's name.

SOUNDBITE:

"Of course this stadium is special because it is old. It is more than 70 years old and if you look at it from the outside it was originally built in 1936. This is because it is protected by landmark protection, it is a monument. So this is part of the impression that you have when you go inside the stadium. From the outside you have a historical building and you get information by our tourist guides or the information points. But when you go inside you have one of the most modern arena in Europe."

Reconstruction at a cost of 242 million Euro began in the summer of 2000 and was officially re-opened in July 2004.

It has a total capacity of over 74,000, but will be restricted to 66,000 for the World Cup.

The new roof, a vast oval interrupted as before by the listed Marathon Gate, provides a delicate contrast to the robust muscularity of the historic tectonics.

The lightweight cantilever construction is borne by an intricate web of 20 beam supports ranging over the gallery, and 132 steel pillars.

The roof is literally the crowning glory of a harmonious solution incorporating past, present and future.

SOUNDBITE:

"242 million Euro were spent to renovate this stadium and of course Berlin is the capital of Germany. So this is a very good place and a place like Berlin really is a vibrant city to host a final of the world cup. It is the biggest media event in the world and I think the capital is the right place for this."

This spectacular stadium is due to host six matches during the tournament but the final on July 9th will of course be the biggest. A global audience of well over a billion is set to follow the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final live on TV.

After suffering their first defeat in the Bundesliga last weekend, RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl is hoping his side can bounce back on Saturday (17th December) against Hertha Berlin who lie one place below them in the table.

Second hosts third in the Bundesliga on Saturday with this season's surprise package RB Leipzig welcoming Hertha Berlin.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's Bundesliga new boys were top of the table after eight consecutive victories but their first defeat of the campaign at FC Ingolstadt last Saturday allowed champions Bayern Munich to move back in front of them but only on goal difference.

RB Leipzig and Hertha have never met in a competitive match with the home side unbeaten at their Red Bull Arena so far this season.

Hertha are six points behind the leaders with Vedad Ibisevic their topscorer on eight goals this season.

The 32-year-old Bosnian striker has scored against 17 of the 18 current Bundesliga sides and needs one against RB Leipzig to complete his collection.

This is possibly a new series here in this home match, this is the goal we're having."

We don't see ourselves as favourites because we have a home match against Hertha. As some occasionally portray us, we know where we are coming from and we have humility towards the tasks waiting for us. But we also have, and I can promise this, a lot of courage and a lot of confidence in what we do."

STORYLINE:

Brazilian football legend Pele visited Berlin on Wednesday to inaugurate an exhibition dedicated to his footballing career, one of several events taking place in the build up to the opening game of World Cup 2006.

The exhibition, PeleStation - the Legend in Action, contains two 40 metre (43 yard) wide projections of images highlighting Pele's remarkable playing career.

PeleStation was opened in a tunnel of a subway station in Berlin.

Pele's popularity cuts across generations and fans came in large numbers to see the Brazilian.

With football fever at a high, Pele turned nostalgic and told the media he was extremely satisfied with the way his career panned out.

PeleStation was designed and created by a Brazilian company with the close cooperation and support of Pele himself.

Meanwhile, the car manufacturer BMW gave 32 Mini cars to the ambassadors of the countries participating in the World Cup, part of the 'Berlinizer' campaign to promote Germany as a friendly host.

The cars will be driven until July 9 by the ambassadors or by people participating in the 'Berlinizer' campaign.

For the ambassadors who live in Berlin, the handover of the cars was a special moment.

The ceremony took pace in the same place that former US President John F Kennedy once said: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I'm a Berliner).

Marketing company Partner Berlin launched the campaign to encourage Germans to open up to guests and friends.

To become a 'Berlinizer', visitors have to log on to the Internet and answer some questions about Berlin.

Those who answer correctly win a badge marked with "I'm a Berlinizer please ask me for help".

Organisers hope that visitors to the city can approach those wearing the badges to ask for assistance or help.

Also in Berlin, the popular German sports brand Adidas has built a special arena where fans can experience an atmosphere similar to the city's famous Olympia Stadium.

The massive arena, built next to the spectacular Reichstag - the German Parliament building, will have live screenings of all World Cup games.

The English were also getting involved in publicity events in the run up to the tournament.

A British tabloid newspaper arranged for a giant beach towel, emblazoned with England's St. George cross, to be spread across a stand at the

Olympiastadium in Berlin.

The newspaper says the 7,578 square-foot (704-square-metre) towel is the world's largest, though the Guiness Book of World Records is still in the process of verifying this claim.

A team of ten unfurled the towel to send a message of support to the English World Cup squad.

The publicity stunt plays upon a popular British view that stereotypes German tourists as always seeking to reserve sun loungers with their towels before British holidaymakers can reach them.

We expect the fans to react in a certain way, namely to isolate potential violent people, and on the other hand, we have to make sure that there is a way to punish those who want to cause trouble."

9. Low shot of coordination centre

STORYLINE

The German Interior Ministry has expressed confidence that the security measures taken for the World Cup in Germany will prevent scenes of football violence similar to those seen in Warsaw, Basel and Berlin over the weekend.

Interior Ministry spokesman Christian Sachs spoke to AP Television News at the opening of the Interior Ministry's National Information and Coordination Centre (NICC) on Tuesday.

"We expect to have a very secure situation in the stadiums," Sachs said.

The NICC will be operational 24 hours a day, and is designed to facilitate the exchange of security-related information between various organisations and government bodies.

While Sachs showed concern about the escalation of violence in various cities, he said the personalisation, or printing of the rightful owner's name, on tickets would guarantee security.

Sachs appealed to the local authorities to implement security measures suggested by the federal government for the so called "Public Viewing" areas.

The police union has repeatedly expressed concern about some 300 such locations where safety measures are regulated by the local authorities.

Worry surrounding security at the World Cup has grown after scores of police and rioters were injured during clashes between police and violent football fans in Basel and Warsaw over the weekend, and a third league match had to be interrupted after clashes between fans broke out in Berlin.

Sachs also appealed to the football fans themselves: "We expect the fans to react in a certain way, namely to isolate potential violent people."

STORYLINE

The mood was festive and colourful on Tuesday morning as Brazilian and Croatian fans gathered in the German capital, Berlin, ahead of their teams' World Cup Group F clash later in the day.

Brazil are five-time champions and heavy favourites to win a record sixth world championship.

The Croats, third in the 1998 World Cup in France, have admitted a draw would be called heroic.

The match, scheduled for 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), is the first in the tournament to be played at the Olympiastadion.

A big screen has been set up at the Brandenburg gate for those fans not lucky enough to get tickets for the game.

Early on Tuesday morning fans of both teams wrapped in their nations' flags sang and danced in the sun while waiting for the game to start.

A Croatian fan said he thought his team stood a chance against the current champions, whilst Brazilian supporters appeared more certain, almost arrogant, about success.

"This is a formality," said one Brazilian fan.

Brazil's coach, however, has said he expects Group F to be decided only in the final round of games.

Australia, Brazil's next opponent on Sunday, beat Japan 3-1 on Monday in their group opener.

Brazil and Croatia have drawn the only two times they have played, including 1-1 in a friendly last year.

Both sides will be at full strength for Tuesday's match at the Olympiastadion.

Outside the Kempinski hotel where the Brazilian team is staying in central Berlin, around 40 Brazilian supporters were waiting and playing samba rhythms, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

STORYLINE:

SNTV take a look at the 2018 World Cup nation Germany, with Joachim Loew's men hoping to overcome injuries and a surprise run of poor as they prepare to defend their World Cup title in Russia.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Germany coasted through World Cup qualifying with 10 wins out of 10 and a European record 43 goals before getting a reality check.

The World Cup holders haven't won any matches since qualifying for Russia.

After drawing friendlies against England, France and Spain, Joachim Loew's team lost 1-0 to Brazil to end a 22-game unbeaten run.

Becoming the first team since Brazil in 1962 to defend their World Cup title now looks even trickier for the Germans.

The recent slump in friendly matches could be a blessing in disguise if it eradicates any complacency going into the World Cup.

But if any coach in international football has the experience and nous to successfully guide Germany through this period, it's Loew.

The 58-year-old has overseen steady progress since taking over following the 2006 World Cup, reaching the final of the 2008 European Championship, claiming third place at the 2010 World Cup and reaching the semi-finals at Euro 2012 before finally winning a title in convincing fashion at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

A disappointing semi-final exit to France at Euro 2016 followed, but Loew laid the groundwork for a successful World Cup title defence by winning the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia with a young team of promising talent.

Loew hasn't been afraid to test young prospects, and Germany's strength in depth means one of his hardest tasks is leaving players out of the 23-man squad.

Though injury threatens to make some of those decisions for Loew.

The biggest concern is captain Manuel Neuer's fitness.

The Bayern Munich goalkeeper sustained a repeat of the hairline metatarsal fracture in his left foot while training last September and hasn't played since.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen could well establish himself as the with doubts over Neuer's fitness.

The Barcelona goalkeeper has overcome a shaky start to his international career and helped Germany win the Confederations Cup.

Bayern defender Jerome Boateng faces a race to be fit with a thigh injury sustained in the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid in April.

And Borussia Moenchengladbach captain Lars Stindl has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a left ankle injury playing for his club.

There is also no room in the squad for 2014 World Cup final goalscorer Mario Goetze after an underwhelming season at Borussia Dortmund.

Germany kicks off its title defence near its tournament base in Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium, playing Mexico on 17th June.

The side then faces a long trip south to Sochi for its second game against Sweden on 23rd June 23, before wrapping up their Group F campaign against South Korea in Kazan four days later.

Loew's side will be aiming to top Group F to avoid a likely second-round clash against Brazil.

STORYLINE:

Reaction from Germany head coach Joachim Low and DFB (German Football Association) President Reinhard Grindel after the country was chosen as hosts of Euro 2024 ahead of Turkey at the UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Thursday (27th September).

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Germany won the right to host football's 2024 European Championship on Thursday, beating Turkey following a politically charged campaign.

Germany, which hosted the 2006 World Cup, was the long-time favourite and won the UEFA executive committee vote 12-4. There was one abstention.

Three months after FIFA members picked a North American bid over Morocco to host the 2026 World Cup, UEFA also opted for a more proven and profitable option.

Unlike FIFA, UEFA does not publish who the voters picked.

Turkey is now a four-time losing candidate after failed bids to host Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016.

This was the first time UEFA built human rights assessments into the process.

UEFA relies on its signature national-team competition to help fund 55 member federations.

Revenue from the first 24-team Euro, hosted in 2016 by France, was almost 2 billion euros ($2.35 billion).

UEFA  received 850 million euros ($1 billion) in profit.

Germany should have about 400,000 more tickets to sell than the Euro 2016 organisers - they also had 300,000 more seats than Turkey's bid.

The UEFA voters were given confidential revenue projections for each candidate's plan.

Germany plan to use 10 stadiums for the 51-game tournament and play the final in Berlin or Munich.

Turkey proposed its strongest, government-backed bid yet with eight of 10 stadiums already completed and owned by the sports ministry.

Yet it was likely to struggle in the first UEFA hosting vote with a human rights assessment.

The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become increasingly authoritarian and a UEFA report into the candidates published last week noted Turkey's lack of a tournament plan to address human rights.

A currency crisis in Turkey has also seen the lira lose almost half its value against UEFA's working currency, the Euro, in the past year.

Germany will look to recapture the positive feeling of its month-long 2006 World Cup, which became known as the nation's "Summer Fairytale."

A well-liked and underrated national team helped Germans express a fresh pride in their national identity and symbols more than a decade after reunification with East Germany.

Europe's signature competition was hosted in 1988 by West Germany, one year before the Berlin Wall came down.

The election victory on Thursday is a welcome revival for the German football federation and its leader after four months of turmoil.

The federation and fans have had troubled relations with national team players Mesut Ozil and Ilkay Gundogan, whose roots are Turkish, before and after a poor showing at the World Cup as defending champions in Russia.

The issue flared after the players posed for photos with Erdogan in London in May - Ozil then became a scapegoat for the team's early World Cup exit.

Bid officials from Turkey quickly left UEFA headquarters and avoided international media.

Their compensation is that the same UEFA voting panel in May decided the 2020 Champions League final will be played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

"Of course, yesterday and today (Wednesday and Thursday), we were really excited for this decision. Now, at the moment, we are very happy because I think we did everything over the last few months and years to get this chance to host this tournament - (Euro) 2024. So we are happy and we will do everything to have a good tournament. We saw in 2006 (World Cup), in Germany, the people were so emotional. All the world came together and it was really a big party. We will do our best to feel the same in six years."

(About why Germany's bid to host Euro 2024 was successful)

"I think that we had a very good bid book with a clear concept for the world of football, to share with other FA's (Football Associations) our experience, which we get in the following months and years and to also be the country at the heart of Europe where you can celebrate football without being anxious, where you can live the values of football also for every human being."

10. 02:22 SOUNDBITE (English): Joachim Low, Germany head coach:

(About the importance of Germany hosting Euro 2024 and whether he will still be in charge of the national team at that time)

"I think for the whole federation and for our country, it's important. It's the next step in the future, for the future and, of course, it will be a great motivation for our young players, for the youth, for the kids, because they see six years later on that their will be a (home) tournament, so this is a big motivation. For my work, at the moment, nothing will change now because in the next few weeks, we have two important games. We were too disappointed in the summer (at the World Cup), of course, but our way in the last 10 years, was very good. We will continue and we have the confidence and everything. So yeah, we will see. At the moment, I am happy that, in six years, there will be a tournament in our country. But we have to look, for me as a coach, at the next month and the next European Championship (in 2020)."

Q: Can you see yourself there in Euro 2024 leading the team?

"I don't know. As a coach, you can't plan for six years. But I would love to be involved in whatever capacity. But, as a coach, I don't know at the moment."

12. 03:46 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

"I sense a great trust from my colleagues here in the UEFA ExCo (Executive Committee). We already heard that we won with a clear majority of 12 votes to 4. That shows a trust in the power of our organisation. That shows that our bid had a great appeal. So I must say a big 'thank you' to my colleagues at the DFB (German Football Association) who have been meticulously working on this over a long time. We also must thank the Bundesliga who have made sure their stadiums are in such a good condition. That also contributed to our success today."

13. 04:24 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

(On the importance of a clean bid after the corruption allegations around the successful German bid for the 2006 World Cup)

"That's always alluded to with the so-called '"Summer Fairytale" (the nickname for Germany 2006). It's a massive compliment for UEFA and shows how good UEFA is set up that that we have received such a big support in the UEFA ExCo with a concept based on facts, sustainability, transparency and good arguments. It's also a victory for our new integrity. That's very important for us at the DFB, that's what I'm responsible for and we have achieved that."

14. 05:08 SOUNDBITE (German): Reinhard Grindel, DFB President:

"I battled, not for me, but for the DFB. For the big goal of being successful in our bid for Euro 2024. After the World Cup it's been the motivation driving our colleagues, members and fans that we have, most importantly, a good perspective. On the one hand to develop a nice story around Euro 2024 but also with the Bundesliga and the DFB to working together to produce a team which is absolutely ready to play a European Championships on home soil. But further than that, it will give a boost to grassroots football, which I am always particularly interested in. So that's why I am really looking forward to the task ahead of us."

15. 05:52 Joachim Low talking to reporters in mixed zone

16. 05:59 SOUNDBITE (German): Joachim Low, Germany head coach:

"This has got nothing to do with my progress or the progress of the team. We must concentrate on what's coming up over the next few weeks. No question that we had a bad World Cup but I think we had a good start at the DFB (winning the 2014 World Cup and 2017 Confederations Cup). Within our ranks over the last few weeks and months there's been a total focus on what this bid means for us. I know that we have done everything we possibly can in the build-up to this to win this tournament and it's a good step forward for the next few years."

17. 06:39 SOUNDBITE (German): Joachim Low, Germany head coach:

(Will he still be the German national team manager in 2024?)

"Everyone who is responsible for this in our organization can now start planning for it. But that doesn't concern me as coach because my position here is totally dependent on the success I have over the next months or at the next tournament. It's difficult as a coach to look so far ahead."

STORYLINE:

Word Cup hosts Germany are concerned that countries with a reputation for violence, including Eastern Europe will arrive en masse in just a few weeks time.

Polish, Croatian and Ukrainian fans, contributing to growing violence in their home leagues, are especially feared because German police find it difficult to tell the genuine supporter from the hooligan, owing to a lack of intelligence.

Whereas the British and Dutch have exchanged thick dossiers on troublemakers for years.

The German media have also criticised a series of errors in various disaster response exercises for the World Cup, although Deputy Interior Minister August Hanning said the point of training was to expose possible mistakes.

But German police are wary.

Michael Endler, head of the D?sseldorf-based ZIS, the police department that handles hooligans, told APTN: "We wouldn''t intensively prepare for four years if we didn''t expect these kind of soccer fans and hooligans to come to Germany despite all security measures. But following information provided by Poland, England and other states known for hooliganism, our expectations can''t be compared at all with what is discussed by the public at the moment. Our level (of expectation) is considerably lower."

However German strategy to combat fan violence and terrorism drew high marks at a two-day security conference of experts from the 32 countries playing in soccer''s showcase event from June 9-July 9.

Tadeuz Pawlaczyk, a Polish police commandant, thinks the German police can handle the situation, because there is good European cooperation.

"Of course we can''t prevent brawls or clashes, but with the cooperation of the German police we hope that these cases can be limited to a minimum," Pawlaczyk said.

The exact number of German police involved is unknown because the nine federal states with World Cup stadia coordinate their own security.

About 2,000 soldiers will provide support, but are forbidden from taking on police roles under the country''s constitution.

Concerned about the jumbo screen venues, the Interior Ministry wants each state to set up video surveillance, check backpacks and fence the areas like a sports arena.

Germany will also reinstate border controls for spot checks after they were dismantled for the European Union.

About 400 police and security officers from other World Cup nations will help German officers patrol stadiums, airports and train stations. England will send 45 uniformed officers abroad for the first time.

STORYLINE:

Thousands of Spanish and Tunisian fans gathered in front of a big screen in downtown Stuttgart on Monday evening to watch the World Cup Group H clash between the two teams.

Tunisian supporters roared and celebrated first as Jawhar Menari scored a goal in the eighth minute.

But Spanish substitute Raul Gonzalez and attacking partner Fernando Torres eventually scored within six minutes of each other to help Spain rally to a 3-1 win over Tunisia in Group H.

Raul scored in the 71st minute and Torres poked in the second in the 77th after being set up by substitute Cesc Fabregas.

Torres added a third goal from penalty spot in the 90th after he got pulled down by a defender.

"We played well enough but we lost," said one Tunisian supporter. "The Spanish were stronger than us."

Spain is emerging as a serious candidate to win the World Cup, and the result put the team in the second round and extended its unbeaten streak

under coach Luis Aragones to 24 games.

"Berlin, Berlin, we're going to Berlin," cheered a Spanish supporter in German.

Tunisia must beat Ukraine in its last match to have a chance to advance.

Spain has opened the World Cup with two wins twice before, but never with such a good goal margin.

Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre will have to restore morale to his squad to have any chance of beating Ukraine, which rebounded from its opening debacle to beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 earlier Monday.

Croatia produced the biggest upset of this World Cup on Saturday when it ousted three-time champions Germany to reach the semifinal.

Germany were favourites to win the match, but after having had a player sent off, they were overrun by the Croatian side and eventually beaten 3-0.

As Croatian fans celebrated at their victory in their first appearance at the World Cup the Germans were distraught at the defeat.

Croatia's 3-0 victory over Germany on Saturday produced one of the biggest upsets of the World Cup.

Croatia, which became a nation just seven years ago after breaking away from Yugoslavia, is the first team since Portugal in 1966 to advance to the semifinals in its first World Cup.

Aided by the 40th minute expulsion of German defender Christian Woerns the Croats took full advantage with a goal in first half injury time from Robert Jarni.

Second half goals from Goran Vlaovic and Davor Suker ensured that it was Croatia who went through to the semifinals where they will now meet the hosts France....a game their supporters are looking forward to.

Meanwhile the Germans around the country drowned their sorrows in bars around the country, while Croatian fans ignored the rain and partied in the street.

The Croatian fans in Lyon celebrated long into the night while back in Zagreb it was reported that the country hadn't witnessed such a huge celebration since it proclaimed independence from former Yugoslavia in 1991.

In Germany it was a different story for the country's fans who couldn't believe their team's inability to reach the later stages of the competition.

They dowsed their sorrows in the bars of Berlin, oscillating between hope and despair for their team, who are all veterans of the national game.

In Frankfurt German fans burned their country's flag in disgust the Croatian fans caused a roadblock with their celebrations in the street.

Croatia now look forward to the semifinals with France.

Germany's 3-0 defeat by Croatia in the World Cup Quarter-finals on Saturday, sent shockwaves of despair through the bars and bierkellers of Berlin.

The German side were favourites to win the match, but after having a player sent off, they quickly conceded three goals to the Croatian side.

German fans drowned their sorrows inside the bars, but outside Croatians ignored the rain and partied in the streets.

The world cup quarter-final started well for German fans, enjoying the universal experience of cheering on their national side.

But the hopes of winning a fourth world title faded, as they were left with 10 men when its best defender Christian Woerns was sent off.

Germany's game collapsed against a team playing in its first World Cup finals.

German fans looked on despairingly as Croatia struck in three goals to win the match.

Outside, in the wet Berlin streets, Croatian fans celebrated their victory.

Traffic was stopped, flares lit and Croatian flags brandished in a display of national pride and mild disbelief.

In Frankfurt, German fans burnt their own flag in shame, as they mourned their country's dismal performance.

Hoffenheim introduce 'footbonaut' training device to hone skills of players.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

German soccer club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim have introduced the high-tech 'footbonaut' device to their training sessions, becoming the second team to use the device after Borussia Dortmund.

The 'footbonaut', designed by Berlin engineer Christian Guttler, is designed to test players' reaction times and first touch.

There is a grass field measuring 14 metres by 14 metres, surrounded by 64 squares in the walls.

A machine is installed in the middle of each wall which fires the soccer balls at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, and the player in the middle must find the correct target, selected at random by the program, from the 64 square panels.

Hoffenheim brought the system into operation at the end of January, one and a half years after Dortmund became the first club to pioneer the technology.

But I think if you do 60 passes, or more, then you get tired so you feel it in your legs. The first time was exhausting but the more you train, the better you get."

It's good to have the mix and this is more, maybe, individual, because you have to train also your first touch and your focus all the time so you can combine, it's no problem."

STORYLINE:

The German state ministry of Baden-Wuerttemberg invited 12 England football fans and journalists to the city of Baden-Baden, Germany on Friday in an initiative to familiarise them with the England team''s hosts for the 2006 Football World Cup.

The 12 guests toured the city of Baden Baden, then went on to inspect the English team''s accommodation, a five-star castle known as Hotel Buehlerhoehe (Schlosshotel Buehlerhoehe).

The hotel - in the northern part of the Black Forest, 15 kilometres from Baden Baden in southwest Germany - is situated 800 metres up on a high rock, overlooking the Rhine Valley

The England squad will be based there until the semi-finals when they will relocate to Berlin - assuming they are still involved.

England have exclusive use of the 90-room hotel during their stay and security measures will be stringent.

"There will be police, there will be a security company and they will be totally by themselves. I don''t know of any other hotel where you can do just that - be like in your own little world and focus on the tournament," said the hotels manager Michael Caspar.

He said the decision for the team to stay there was an easy one.

"The teams looked at a lot of properties and it is my understanding that once Sven-Goran Eriksson showed up here, he made up his mind. I mean that was a spontaneous decision. This is it, that''s where we want to be," said Caspar.

The twelve fans got a peak at the hotels new colour scheme, the interior is being repainted in "champagne" colour.

New king size beds have been ordered at the request of the Football Association.

There is also a Michelin-starred restaurant, a pool with floor-to-ceiling windows, a spa and a �1,500-a- night (equivalent to Euro2161 or 2613 US dollars) presidential suite.

The most striking feature inside is the classical rotunda, a circular entrance hall.

The hotel, which was built in 1914 as a rest home for injured Prussian officers, was previously owned by technology magnate Max Grundig.

The English fans were impressed with the city of Baden Baden

"The place is magnificent. Good buildings and architecture. Nice gardens as well, here," remarked Dan Turner.

Gordon Newell another dedicated England fan, was confident that the language barrier would not present a problem during the forthcoming tournament.

"I knew a few words already. So, yeah. I think that the beauty of the language of football is that it transcends all, doesn''t it, whether its German, English, Spanish, French, whatever."
