Fervently devotes time to prayer and the study of the Christian scriptures, the Bible.
In the world of football, faith and sport often intertwine, and that's certainly the case for Chris Fuhrich, a 26-year-old midfielder for the German national team. A devout Christian, Fuhrich often uses Bible verses to describe important moments in his career.
Fuhrich made his debut with the German national team at the Euro 2024 competition, a moment he marked on social media with Colossians 3:17. On the day of his international debut, he posted on Instagram, "Incredibly proud and grateful for my international debut. Psalm 37:4 #Jesus."
Fuhrich is not alone in his faith within the national team. Defender Benjamin Heinrichs (number 20) also openly expresses his Christian beliefs. Both players have become outspoken Christians in the German national team.
Fuhrich plays in the Bundesliga with the team VfB Stuttgart and has scored 8 goals this season. His faith, he believes, has helped him overcome difficult moments and has become more important to him in recent years. He has a routine of setting aside time "in the evening before going to sleep and in the morning as I wake up" for prayer and Bible reading.
Germany started their Euro 2024 campaign with a bang, winning the opening game against Scotland with a clear 5-1. The team is one of the big favourites to win the title, and Fuhrich's contributions are sure to play a significant role.
Fuhrich's social media posts are a testament to his faith. Every message is signed off with a different Bible verse. When he learned he had been selected for the European Championship squad, he mentioned Psalm 27:14 on social media.
Another Christian defender in the German national team is Felix Nmecha, who owes his Christian faith to his mother from Ghana and prays Psalm 27:14 as his favourite Bible verse on the football field.
In an interview with tv broadcaster RTL in June, Fuhrich confirmed that he prays and reads the Bible regularly. His faith is not just a part of his personal life, but it also influences his football career.
As the Euro 2024 tournament progresses, Fuhrich's impact on and off the field will undoubtedly continue to inspire both his team and his fans. His unwavering faith and dedication serve as a reminder that success in sport is not just about skill, but also about character and values.
