The ticket for the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is within reach, but it is not the only focus. Because for the German soccer players, the European Championship from July 6th to 31st in England hovers above everything else.
The World Cup qualifier on Tuesday in Stara Pazova against Serbia is the last chance for the players to present themselves in national jerseys at the European Championship casting. “If you qualify for the World Cup, that’s also a cool statement for the European Championship. That gives security.”said national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg in anticipation of further success.
EM nomination in a month
The rush for the 23-man squad at the record European champions is great. Especially the many failures with Corona and injuries have produced new candidates in recent months.
The nomination for England is due in just over a month (May 16). According to Voss-Tecklenburg, the individual analyzes are carried out meticulously. Everyone gets target agreements and concrete forms of exercise.
EM in mind
“Of course you have this great tournament in the back of your mind. When you see how many tickets have already been sold, you know that something big is waiting for us.”, said Svenja Huth. The Wolfsburg native shone in a 3-0 win over Portugal in Bielefeld, the seventh win for the DFB women in their seventh World Cup qualifier. The team can now make everything clear against Serbia, even if the games in Turkey and Bulgaria are still pending in September.
