World Cup Bathrooms

South Africa World Cup 2010

World Cup fever has arrived and it all kicks off on Friday 11th June in South Africa, the first World Cup to be hosted by an African country. It is not surprising that we have started to read stories about Football Associations making diva like demands ranging from catering requirements to entertainment facilities in advance of their teams arrival in the rainbow nation.

The one that caught Ocean Bathrooms’ attention was football legend Diego Maradona’s demands for two state-of-the-art bidet toilets be installed for him at Argentina’s World Cup base camp in South Africa. Bidets are quite common in Argentina and after knocking two existing bedrooms together, bidets with heated seats were duly installed.
