Germany qualified for World Cup 2026 by topping their UEFA section, and FIFA's official tracker says the clinching moment came with a 6-0 win over Slovakia on 17 November 2025. That mattered because it confirmed a return to the finals after back-to-back group-stage exits had damaged the country's aura. Julian Nagelsmann's job now is to turn a talented squad into a convincing tournament side rather than just a promising one.

Bayern Munich
Musiala is the most natural line-breaker in the side and one of the few players who can make Germany look genuinely uncontainable between the lines.

Liverpool's official coverage confirmed Wirtz's move in June 2025, and his vision gives Germany another elite creator capable of deciding low-margin games.

Forward
Arsenal
Havertz gives Germany tactical flexibility across the front line and can connect attacks in ways that pure penalty-box strikers often cannot.
