No Christian Prayer in German Football Stadiums

The Catholic news service KATH.NET reports that the World Football association FIFA had the chapels of the Berlin Olympic Stadium and the Arena ''auf Schalke'' closed out of ''security considerations and respect for the followers of other religions''.

The Berlin chapel was supposed to cater for the practising Christians in several teams, among them the Brasilian and South Korean team.
