Germany: 2026 World Cup squad confirmed
Germany have confirmed their 26-player squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Germany arrive in North America on a wave of renewed belief after hosting a successful Euro 2024 and rebuilding under Julian Nagelsmann.
The post-Low era has finally found its footing. Nagelsmann has built a squad around the devastating creative axis of Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz two players who have redefined what it means to be a modern attacking midfielder. Manuel Neuer returns for what is expected to be his final World Cup, a fitting bookend to one of goalkeeping's greatest careers. German football culture continues to prize tactical discipline, but this squad carries more flair than any Die Mannschaft side in a decade.
Head coach Julian Nagelsmann has named his final selection for the tournament in North America.
The blend of Bayern Munich's spine with explosive talent from across the Bundesliga and beyond gives Germany genuine title credentials. Kai Havertz has matured into a reliable goal threat, and Kimmich's leadership marshals the midfield. A semi-final run is the minimum expectation; anything less would be considered a failure.
