"Following the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Centre in D.C., Germany's opponents were revealed to be the Caribbean island nation Curaçao, the African powerhouse Côte D'Ivoire and South America's Ecuador. Having placed in what can be considered a fairly easy draw, Germany must begin their preparations at the soonest. By June, the DFB must not just finalize a squad but find reliable options to give their best at the World Cup."
"The opener game against Curaçao will be on June 14, at 19:00 CET (1:00PM EST). The game will happen in Houston in the NRG Stadium (Houston Stadium). The second game will be six days away. Germany will face Côte D'Ivoire on June 20, at 22:00 CET (4:00PM EST). The game will happen in BMO Field, now renamed the Toronto Stadium, in Toronto."
Germany will face Curaçao, Côte D'Ivoire and Ecuador in the World Cup group stage and must begin preparations immediately. By June, the DFB must finalize a squad and identify reliable options to perform at the tournament. Germany will play two group matches in the United States and one in Canada. The opener is June 14 in Houston, the second on June 20 in Toronto, and the final group game on June 25 in New Jersey. The schedule creates travel and jet-lag concerns because kickoffs correspond to late evening in German time, posing a competitive challenge.
