FOOTBALL: Germany’s stars have received permission to host wags at the World Cup hotel

Ger­many’s play­ers have been giv­en per­mis­sion to invite their part­ners to the team hotel before an impor­tant World Cup match.

The play­er’s part­ner has been giv­en per­mis­sion to stay at a lux­u­ry resort for two nights, reports Bild.

Many of the play­ers’ wives and lovers are in Qatar and were spot­ted in the stands when Ger­many drew 1–1 with Spain.

They then trav­eled to the remote Zlar Well­ness Resort, a sub­urb of Doha in the north of the country.

Rooms from $800 to $20,000 per night.

Kai Huberts’ girl­friend Sophia Weber and Kevin Trap­p’s fiancée Isabelle Goulart have passed through the team base.

Christi­na Gin­ter, who mar­ried defend­er Matthias, com­plained that the air con­di­tion­ing in the sta­di­um made her body too cold and she want­ed to stay warm with her husband.

Espe­cial­ly if Ger­many, who missed out on advanc­ing to the knock­out rounds in 2018, fails to break through the group stage, the deci­sion to retain them could be controversial.

Ger­many lost their open­ing game to Japan, drew with Spain, and next face Cos­ta Rica on Thursday.

The four-time world cham­pi­on is bot­tom of the group and will have to hope that Cos­ta Rica can be beat­en and Spain can beat Japan to secure their place.

The hotel where the play­ers are stay­ing is locat­ed 111 kilo­me­ters from the cap­i­tal, which will host the World Cup.

Hans Flick cit­ed “the iso­la­tion of the region and the dis­tance from the main cities” as the rea­son why the play­ers did not accom­pa­ny him to the pre-match press conference.

This is against FIFA rules and the Ger­man fed­er­a­tion will be fined.

Ten­sions run high between them and the author­i­ties fol­low­ing the pho­to of the Ger­many nation­al team against Japan, where the OneLove arm­band was banned and the play­ers cov­ered their mouths in retaliation.
