At the World Cup Qatar tournament, the official press conference of each team on the day before the match will be held at the media hub of each country in Doha city, and it is stipulated that the manager and one player will attend.

Regarding this, Director Flick explained, "It takes three hours to travel from our base to and from our base, and we cannot ask the players to move before an important match."
On the 29th, the German Football Federation announced that FIFA had fined 10,000 Swiss francs = Japanese yen, about 1.45 million yen, for this response as a violation of discipline.
The German Football Federation planned to wear a captain's mark with the words "ONE LOVE" written on it to appeal against discrimination, along with several European teams at this tournament, but gave up wearing it because FIFA decided to issue a warning to the players. However, the confrontation is deepening, such as criticism of FIFA's response.
Germany will face Costa Rica on the 1st of next month at the same time as Japan will face Spain in their third match of the primary league, and two teams from this group will be determined to advance to the knockout stages.
