The DFB’s squad for the Women’s World Cup will be announced on Saturday

National team coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will announce Germany’s World Cup squad on Saturday. The 55-year-old said at the press conference in Herzogenaurach that in the morning she will hold one-on-one talks with the players.

Herzogenaurach/Furth – In the final test match before the tournament in Australia and New Zealand (July 20-August 20) in Furth on Friday evening (8:30pm/chill), European runners-up will meet Zambia, outsiders in the World Cup.

The German team currently includes 28 World Cup candidates. An official team can contain up to 23 players. Voss-Tecklenburg left it open whether she would take one or two players with her to Australia as backup for potential short-term nominations in case of failure due to the long trip. The German Football Association women fly to Sydney on Tuesday.

“Not all decisions have been taken with regard to candidacy,” the national coach confirmed at the end of the second training camp. She is looking forward to a “great atmosphere” in Fürth. They want to “take the fans with us again for our last game before the World Cup”. According to the German Football Association, 10,300 tickets have already been sold. dpa
