The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) insisted that Dante and Luiz Gustavo report to the Brazil national team's training camp for 1 June at 16:00 local time. The training camp was for preparations for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Bayern, however, were due to play VfB Stuttgart in the 2013 DFB-Pokal Final on 1 June. The CBF threatened to exclude both players if they did not report by the stated time. Under FIFA rules, clubs must let players report to national teams 14 days prior to the start of a tournament. Bayern sent a "polite" letter asking for their release for the final, however the CBF responded with a "polite" letter rejecting it. Bayern attempted to reach an "amicable solution". with the Brazilian Football Confederation but failed. Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge blamed FIFA, the CBF and the German Football Association (DFB). The German Football Association blamed the Brazilian Football Confederation. Brazil head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari claimed that Bayern were at fault since the CBF claimed that they sent letters 5, 10 and 15 days before the release date and also stated how they "would have been willing to negotiate" with the 15-day notice. Notably, the Royal Spanish Football Federation did not enforce the rule for Javi Martínez and made the player available for the DFB-Pokal final.
