Argentina coach Diego Maradona is to get luxury toilets at the World Cup after a special request from the Argentine Football Association, a South African newspaper said on Sunday.

Maradona's snazzy loos will include new wash basins, toilet bowls, cisterns, taps and E-Bidet luxury toilet seats, reported the Sunday Times.

The E-Bidet features a heated seat, a warm air blow-dryer and front and rear bidet wands. It sells for USD 450 at online retailer sandman.com, which bills it as "the world's best toilet seat". The head of the University of Pretoria's High Performance Centre, Argentina's base camp for the tournament, said staff had received a special request from the Argentine national association to remodel the bathrooms.

"They felt that the basins and toilet bowls were not up to Maradona's standards," Colin Stier told the Sunday Times.
