Germany's football museum to be kicked off

The German Football Museum opens its doors to the public this weekend, offering some light relief from a cash-for-votes scandal over the 2006 World Cup.

At a cost of 36 million euros ($40 million), the private venture partially backed by the DFB (German Football Association) will open as a shrine to those who have worn the famous white shirt in football-mad Germany.

The eye-catching, 7,700-square-metre complex in the heart of the western city of Dortmund contains some 1,600 exhibits.

The largest is the Mercedes bus on which the German team rode through Berlin on their triumphant return from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
