Germany coach Joachim Loew says the training facilities in South Africa for the 2010 World Cup are not of a high enough standard, and has urged Fifa to intervene.
"So far, I have not seen a single training field that is even close to European standards," said Loew. "Better conditions must be put in place by Fifa and the local organizers."
Loew was on a visit to South Africa during the Confederations Cup along with assistant Hansi Flick and national team manager Oliver Bierhoff.
"We don't need to have worries that the stadiums won't be ready or that the infrastructure will produce problems," Loew told the Kicker magazine web site. "The stadiums are in a very good condition, but the training opportunities do not match our expectations."
If it qualifies, Germany will be based close to Johannesburg during next year's tournament, he said.
