Germany are in good form after beating Italy in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. For the 2026 World Cup qualification, Germany has the opportunity to secure a place in the playoffs if the group does not go well. In the playoffs, which will take place on March 26th and 31st, 2026, the runners-up and the best non-qualified teams in the Nations League will play for four places in the 2026 World Cup.
The new World Cup participant regulations
A significant aspect of the upcoming World Cup is the increase in the number of participants from 32 to 48 teams, giving Europe a total of 16 places. This could further heat up the competition for the coveted starting places.
In summary, the German national team faces a challenging but also promising qualification for the 2026 World Cup. With a clear focus on the games against Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg, expectations are high that Germany will secure the first two places in the group and qualify directly for the tournament. The entire team is looking forward to the support of the fans, especially during important meetings such as the game against Slovakia in Bratislava.
