German sex toy company Beate Uhse has been ordered to pay 50,000 euros (65,000 dollars) in damages to two German football stars after selling vibrators named for them during last year's World Cup.

Football players Michael Ballack and Oliver Kahn reached an agreement with the company in their case before a court in northern Hamburg on Friday.

The company sold special World Cup edition vibrators called "Michael B.," referring to the Chelsea player and captain of the German national team, and "Olli K.," in reference to the Bayern Munich and former Germany goalkeeper, in three shops.

The two players had initially asked for 60,000 euros (81,000 dollars) in damages.
