The German Soccer
Association (DFB) is quite aware of this. In fact, in the association's

"We are always
challenged when the national squad plays a match. We constantly have to
deal with the local infrastructure. Our organization department is able
to do this only if it can competently have its say," said DFB marketing
head Horst Lichtner recently at a technology forum at the Allianz Arena
in Munich.
