"It's not a super easy group, but a manageable one in which we want to prevail,"
"It's good that we are being challenged; that you don't have three easy opponents, that you have to work hard and push yourself to your limits."
"Curacao are exciting to analyse. But we won't make the mistake of underestimating them. Ivory Coast are a team you can beat, but one you shouldn't take lightly. Ecuador are not easy to play against. They have three or four real top stars."
Germany were drawn into Group E with Ecuador, Curacao and Ivory Coast for the 2026 World Cup. Group matches are scheduled: Curacao on June 14, Ivory Coast on June 20 and Ecuador on June 25. Germany topped their qualifying group with five wins and one loss, finishing with a 6-0 victory over Slovakia. The group is characterized as manageable yet challenging, requiring hard work and maximum effort. Curacao represent a first-time opponent, Ivory Coast should not be underestimated, and Ecuador bring several top-level players, making progression to the knockout rounds a realistic but demanding goal.
