A gigantic fan camp will be set up in Dortmund
The German city of Dortmund is set to play host to a gigantic fan camp during the World Cup this summer.
Four thousand beds will be available in five massive trade-fair halls, providing cheap accommodation for fans right next door to Dortmund's World Cup stadium.
The price of €35 per night, which is available to football fans who stay three nights, includes local transport not only to the Dortmund stadium, but to stadiums in Cologne and Gelsenkirchen as well.
The fan camp concept is aimed at fans who have tickets to World Cup matches, but are struggling to find cheap accommodation in light of rising hotel prices.
First-round World Cup matches in Dortmund include Trinidad & Tobago playing Sweden in England's group, Germany playing Poland and Japan playing Brazil.
Westfalenhallen, where the trade-fair halls are based, will also host a series of free events including concerts.
The lodgings will include a men's area, a women's area and an area for couples.
