Germany FIFA World Cup 2026 Squad & Schedule: Germany enters the FIFA World Cup 2026 with renewed ambition under head coach Julian Nagelsmann, aiming to reclaim global dominance after a disappointing run in recent tournaments. The four-time world champions, Germany, last lifted the trophy in 2014 and have since struggled with consistency, including back-to-back group stage exits in major competitions.
This time, Nagelsmann has built a balanced and youthful squad blended with experienced leaders, headlined by the return of veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Germany’s Road to the 2026 World Cup
Under Julian Nagelsmann, Germany has focused on rebuilding a strong tactical identity after recent international setbacks. The return of Manuel Neuer adds experience in goal, while the defensive duo of Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah brings stability at the back.
In midfield, the combination of Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz provides elite creativity and attacking fluidity, making Germany one of the most technically gifted squads in the tournament.
However, pressure remains high. After disappointing exits in the last two World Cups, expectations are centered around a deep knockout-stage run and a realistic push for a record-extending fifth World Cup title.
