However, these claims have been contested by both the builder of Germany’s base camp and the German Football Federation (DFB). Marco Rocchi, a spokesperson for the construction company Hirmer, stated that the construction adheres to strict environmental protection regulations and safety measures were implemented on the site last year.
Similarly, a spokesperson for the DFB expressed confidence in the base camp’s construction, asserting that it complies with all legal requirements.
With conflicting reports, it becomes a question of whom to believe – the press or the manufacturer and the DFB. The German team’s base camp is located in Santo Andre, near Salvador de Bahia in the northeast of Brazil.
