""We are really looking forward to the match against Otto Addo's team," said coach Julian Nagelsmann. "Their strong counter-attacking game can give us a taste of what to expect in the World Cup group stage match against Ivory Coast.""
"Ghana have qualified for a second consecutive World Cup. They finished bottom of their group in 2022 behind Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay. However, they are not a side to be trifled with, as they gave all three of their opponents some major problems, even beating the Koreans. This time, Ghana have been drawn with England, Croatia, and Panama."
"Germany played Ghana in two successive World Cups in 2010 and 2014. Curiously, they were the only side that Germany did not defeat on the road to the title in 2014. Goals from Mario Götze and Miroslav Klose earned the eventual world champions a 2-2 draw."
Germany will play Ghana in their second friendly of the March international break as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup. Ghana's strong counter-attacking game can simulate what Germany may face against Ivory Coast in the World Cup group stage. Ghana qualified for a second consecutive World Cup after a challenging 2022 group stage and have been drawn with England, Croatia, and Panama for 2026. Germany previously met Ghana in 2010 and 2014, drawing 2-2 in 2014 with goals from Mario Götze and Miroslav Klose. The friendly will be held in Stuttgart on 30 March.
