Remaining soccer action to be shown forthcoming - Remaining football action highlights continue to air
On your marks, football fans! Despite the Champions League wrap-up, there's no need to miss out on the action. The Bundesliga champions and relegation matches have been decided, but the winners of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League aren't the only ones taking the spotlight.
With World Cup qualifiers, the Nations League final, Women's Euros, and the Club World Cup on the horizon, King Football rules summer. Let's dive into the details!
Let's Talk Nations League
Ready for some high-spirited football battles? The action resumes next Wednesday with a challenging semi-final in the Nations League. Germany, guided by the young gun Julian Nagelsmann, must edge past Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal (40) to secure their spot in the final. The game, set to kick off at 21:00 CET in Munich's Allianz Arena, will be broadcast on ZDF.
Stay tuned, and you might catch Germany playing either at 15:00 or 21:00 CET on the following Sunday. The earlier game is the third-place playoff, while the later one is the Nations League final. The opposition will be determined on Thursday. Whether it's Spain or France facing off, expect some fierce competition! The game featuring Germany will be aired on RTL.
Joining the Party: World Cup Qualifiers
The World Cup qualifiers continue, with Group G, H, I, J, and K in action on June 6 and 7, then early next week. Though the excitement might seem tame compared to major tournaments, there'll be some thrilling underdog battles, like Norway against Italy on Friday at 20:45 CET.
Static as a rock post-Bundesliga restart, Germany will face Slovakia on September 4 at 20:45 CET, then battle Northern Ireland on September 7 at the same time. Wrapping up the group stage, they'll take on Luxembourg on October 10 at 20:45 CET.
A Club World Cup Extravaganza
Fancy some international drama? The Club World Cup is back, and it's bigger than ever—with 32 teams vying for the title instead of the usual seven. Two of the German giants, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, will be bravely stepping onto the World Cup pitch. Bayern faces Auckland City FC on June 15 at 18:00 CET, while Dortmund squares off against Fluminense Rio de Janeiro on June 17 at the same time.
Prepare yourself for some oddball schedules, considering the tournament is taking place in the USA. For example, Bayern's second group game against Boca Juniors is scheduled for 3:00 CET. All games featuring German teams will be broadcast on Sat.1, Joyn, and ran.de. Streaming for free via Dazn is also an option.
Euros for Women's Football Enthusiasts
Mark your calendars, ladies! Around halfway through the Club World Cup, the Euros for women's football enthusiasts will commence. Beginning on July 2, the tourney runs until July 27. Germany, captained by Christian Wück (51), is in Group C with Poland, Denmark, and Sweden. England is the defending champion. All Women's Euros matches will be live on broadcast or streamed on ARD and ZDF.
