title: [FIFA World Cup 2006--healthcare services].
abstract: The medical services available to official participants in the FIFA World Championship 2006 will be provided by the FIFA itself, or its Organization Committee for Germany. For the first time, FIFA requires comprehensive screening examinations for the players, and this will be a prerequisite for participation in the tournament. The structures for the provision of medical care during the World Championship tournament are described taking the plans for the Munich venue as an example.
