German head coach Julian Nagelsmann, has said that his side are ”very much looking forward” to the international friendly clash against Otto Addo’s Black Stars on 30th March, 2026 ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Germany will play Ghana in an international friendly on Monday, March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart as the German gaffer believes the game would give his team a taste of what to expect which the global showpiece kicks off in June.
The friendly match forms part of preparations for both countries in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America. Ghana is coached by Hamburg-born Otto Addo, a former Bundesliga professional and 15-time Ghana international who won the German championship with Borussia Dortmund in 2002.
Commenting on the crucial pre-World Cup international friendly, German gaffer Julian Nagelsmann said “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.”
Ghana qualified convincingly as group winners for the 2026 World Cup and will compete in Group L against England, Croatia, and Panama. The four-time African champions have faced Germany three times before.
In their first friendly in Bochum in 1993, Germany won 6–1. Two further encounters came at World Cups: in 2010 in South Africa, Germany prevailed 1–0 in the group stage, while their second group-stage meeting at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil ended in a 2–2 draw.
The match is scheduled for an 8:45 pm kickoff on Monday, March 30, 2026.
