Germany's football stars have been warned to expect to wear bullet-proof vests at next summer's World Cup in South Africa.

The head of a security firm said players, like Michael Ballack, would need such protection if they ventured away from the team's Pretoria hotel amid safety fears.

Guenter Schnelle from BaySecur said: "The possibility for the players of moving outside of the hotel boundaries should be kept to a minimum."

"Otherwise there must be a full escort: armed security guards and bullet-proof vests for the players," he told German magazine Sport-Bild.

BaySecur looks after the German Football Federation (DFB) and their guests when the national team plays away from Germany.
