Association Boss Gives Clear WM Task to DFB Players - Germany targets direct 2026 World Cup qualification to dodge playoffs
Germany's football chief, Bernd Neuendorf, is eager to avoid playoff rounds for the 2026 World Cup. The national team, led by Julian Nagelsmann, currently tops Group A and has two crucial matches left to secure direct qualification. Neuendorf is determined to prevent Germany from facing nba playoffs, as seen in 2001. The team's path to direct qualification involves winning both remaining matches: away against Luxembourg on November 11 and hosting Slovakia in Leipzig on November 17. Two victories would guarantee Germany's place in the 2026 World Cup, to be held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. Neuendorf also aims for Germany to secure a spot in Pot 1 for the World Cup draw in early December. This would give them a more favourable draw and increase their chances of success in the tournament. The German national team is focused on achieving these goals and avoiding any nba playoffs scenarios. With two decisive matches left in their qualifying campaign, Germany is determined to avoid nba playoffs and secure direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. A win in both matches against Luxembourg and Slovakia would achieve this, as well as potentially placing them in Pot 1 for the World Cup draw. The team and its president, Bernd Neuendorf, are confident in their ability to achieve these objectives.
