Germany — World Cup 2026 Squad & Fixtures

Germany won UEFA Group A and start in Group E against Curaçao, Côte d'Ivoire and Ecuador. Four World Cup titles and a long habit of deep runs still shape every conversation around them, even after the disappointments of recent editions. Ecuador and Côte d'Ivoire should make the section more competitive than it first appears. Germany do not need a perfect June, but they do need to look like a team heading for the last eight.
