FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Germany will use a newly built World Cup base near Porto Seguro in the state of Bahia for next year's tournament in Brazil.
The German Football Federation said Friday the coastal base will be at "Campo Bahia," 30 kilometers (19 miles) north of Porto Seguro.
The DFB said the base is "still under construction" and will consist of 14 two-story houses for the players and team officials. A media center and a practice field will be nearby.
The base is near the village of Santo Andre and will be finished by March.
National team manager Oliver Bierhoff said the facility was "not being built for us and according to our wishes."
