Blatter: World Cup is FIFA’s event, not Germany’s
After the last days seen some debate over the latest FIFA rules about food and drink, Sepp Blater, president of FIFA felt necessary to clarify the things.
“I need to be clear about this once and for all: the World Cup does not belong to Germany, this is not a German World Cup. It is a FIFA World Cup in Germany that cost us 1 billion Swiss francs ($758.7 million),” Blatter told top-selling German daily Bild in an interview.
More, when he was asked about the bird flu problem in Germany, and if that would affect World Cup, he said that
“At the moment no.
“But if bird flu developed into a threat like the plague or cholera, if people are infecting people, then the government must take a decision. We would have to respect that. That is clear.”
