Germany Manager, Nagelsmann, Looking Forward to March 30 Black Stars Friendly
Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has said he is looking forward to the international friendly game between the Black Stars of Ghana and his Die Mannschaft side scheduled for March 30, 2026.
The former Bayern Munich boss, now in charge of the Germany men’s national team, added that Ghana’s style of play would give him and his team a preview of what to expect from 2026 FIFA World Cup group opponents, Ivory Coast.
“We are very much looking forward to the clash with Otto’s team. Their strong transition play can give us a taste of what to expect in the World Cup group match against Ivory Coast”, Nagelsmann opined.
The Black Stars have faced Germany three times in all competitions, recording two defeats and one draw, making for a great pre-World Cup test for Black Stars manager, Otto Addo, who thought the game was against one of the best teams in the world.
“This is an amazing opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world. Germany are a good side, and we can’t wait to face them in Stuttgart,” Addo said.
The match, which will take place in Stuttgart, is part of preparations for both teams ahead of the global showpiece slated to begin on June 11 in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
Ghana will face England, Croatia, and Panama in Group L.
It is the first confirmed pre-World Cup match by the Ghana Football Association, as coach Otto Addo looks to sharpen his squad ahead of the tournament.
Meanwhile, 4th ranked Germany are paired with Curaçao, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador in Group E.
