Germany is obliged to admit the head of state of a participating nation, and the tournament’s official motto is "A Time To Make Friends". But Mr Ahmadinejad has demanded Israel’s destruction and has repeatedly denied the holocaust - a crime in Germany.
By unhappy coincidence Iran’s first match is in the stadium on the Nuremberg complex used by Hitler for his mass rallies, and German neo-Nazis are planning a march in support of Mr Ahmadinejad. But Israel, Iranian exiles and leading German politicans are demanding that he is kept away.
