Germany's Men's National Team Kicks Off UEFA Nations League Campaign in Herzogenaurach
The German football team, led by Julian Nagelsmann, commenced their training sessions for the UEFA Nations League's 'Final Four' on Friday at Adi-Dassler-Stadion in Herzogenaurach. The German Football Association (DFB) has designated Adidas' campus as the team's 'Home Ground,' as mentioned in a press release by the DFB.
Over 4000 fans gathered to witness the training, with tickets selling out within an hour after they were made available on Wednesday morning due to high demand.
The German squad will next face Portugal in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League on Wednesday, 4 June 2025, at the Munich Football Arena. The match will be broadcast live on ZDF. The final is scheduled for Sunday, 8 June 2025, at the same venue, with the third-place play-off slated for Sunday, 8 June, at 3 PM at the Stuttgart Arena if necessary.
Training sessions in Herzogenaurach continued despite the opportunity for the team's manager, Julian Nagelsmann, and assistant Rudi Voeller, to watch Yann Aurel Bisseck, a German national player playing for Inter Milan, against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening. The duo opted to stay with the team in Herzogenaurach to focus on the upcoming semi-final against Portugal.
"We have an invitation, but we say 'thank you' and we're not coming," stated Nagelsmann, citing the need to stay with the team to prepare for the upcoming match. Voeller echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of team camaraderie and unity given their infrequent gatherings.
