Campo Bahia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Campo Bahia is a resort in the municipality of Santa Cruz Cabrália , just under 30 kilometers north of the seaside resort of Porto Seguro and the city's airport in the Brazilian state of Bahia . The plant is located in the Santo André district, about eight kilometers north of Santa Cruz Cabrália on the Atlantic coast . It was selected by the DFB as the base for the German national soccer team for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil . The crew moved into their accommodation on June 8th and left on July 11th.

description

The resort was built by a German real estate consortium led by the Munich entrepreneur couple Christiane and Dr. Christian Hirmer erected. There are 14 two-story buildings with a total of 65 suites on 15,000 square meters.

The completion should originally take place in March 2014. According to media reports, however, the facility was only completed a few days before the arrival of the national team. An originally planned media center for 300 journalists was not built. The journalists were accommodated in the local Mabu Costa Brasilis hotel .

The team quarters were furnished with art objects by the art advisor Helge Achenbach . The director Ulli Lommel wrote a book and made a film about Campo Bahia and the stay of the German team.

The training ground for the national team was built about three kilometers away in a nature reserve . The environmental authority granted the exemption after two weeks, although turtles lay their eggs in this area. For the World Cup, the DFB had rented a ferry for the inlet so that the German team did not have to wait at the ferry dock in Santo André as usual. The owners of the Campo supported a social project for crack addicts and teenagers with 10,000 euros in 2013 , and support for the village school is also planned. The DFB considered renovating the Santo André sports field.

The resort was chosen because of the training ground in sight, the airport nearby and a relatively short journey to the locations of the preliminary round matches ( Salvador , Fortaleza and Recife ). The choice of this accommodation was perceived internationally as "innovative" and as a sign of careful planning, as the facility is also located in the same climate zone as the stadiums for the preliminary round matches of the German team. The German efficiency, for which this accommodation stands, is also viewed with fascination in Brazil, wrote the Washington Post .

The facility was originally not included in the list of possible World Cup quarters by FIFA because at that time there were no guarantees that it would be completed on time. However, according to FIFA, the necessary construction progress was made later.

The facility is located in a place steeped in history. The Portuguese landed in the immediate vicinity under Pedro Álvares Cabral on April 22, 1500 and discovered the land that they called Terra da Santa Cruz , i.e. Land of the Holy Cross , for the Portuguese crown .

Social commitment for the community included structural measures for flood protection, the purchase of an ambulance vehicle, expansion of the village's football field, and support for the IASA Instituto Amigos de Santo Andre with donations for the music school.

reception

Several media reported on the "Campo Bahia recipe for success". The then DFB President Wolfgang Niersbach described it as the “best quarter of all time”.
