Berlin: Health authorities in Germany's southern state of Bavaria have said they will put up signs in brothels during the 2006 World Cup to remind clients of a local law obliging them to use condoms.
"Clearly visible and readable" posters will be put up in brothels in Bavaria during the world's biggest football extravaganza, which Germany is hosting from June 9 to July 9, the state's health ministry said on Thursday.
The World Cup's 64 matches will be played in 12 German cities, including in Munich and Nuremberg in Bavaria.
Bavaria has a regulation in force stating that men must wear condoms when they visit prostitutes.
Although prostitution is legal in Germany, religious and women's groups have warned they fear a rise in forced prostitution during the finals, especially involving women from eastern Europe.
