The Germany team has bought 300 tickets for each of its three World Cup group matches that will be distributed to local schoolchildren.
The children from poorer areas in the cities of Durban, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg will be driven by bus to the games, given food at the stadiums and then driven back. They will be accompanied by teachers.
The tickets cost the team a ``six-digit'' figure, according to team spokesman Harald Stenger.
