The Ghanaian national team, the Black Stars, will continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a high-profile friendly against Germany. The match is scheduled for March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart.
This encounter presents a crucial test for Ghana ahead of the global tournament in North America. Drawn into Group L with England, Croatia, and Panama, the Black Stars are set for their fifth World Cup finals appearance.
Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, welcomed the challenge: “This is an amazing opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world. Germany are a top side, and we can’t wait to face them in Stuttgart.”
His German counterpart, Julian Nagelsmann, also expressed anticipation for the tactical matchup: “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.”
The four-time African champions have faced Germany on three previous occasions: a 6-1 friendly defeat in Bochum (1993), a 1-0 loss in the 2010 World Cup group stage, and a 2-2 draw at the 2014 finals in Brazil.
