A display of old World Cup
shirts at a shopping mall in Brazil might seem innocuous enough, but one
item in particular has turned it into a controversial exhibition that
has been upsetting to some visitors.
A replica of the white and black
shirt, featuring a Nazi-era swastika and eagle in its crest, worn by
Germany at the 1934 World Cup is in a display case in the host city of
Salvador, where Germany played their first match of the 2014 World Cup.
The collection also includes a
black shirt with Fascist symbols worn by Mussolini's Italy at the 1938
World Cup and Israel's 1970 shirt, which Sampao claims is evidence of
there being "no political involvement" with the exhibition.
