Kick-off time for the star of the DFB-Elf against Japan is set

In their first game at the 2022 World Cup, the team of national coach Hansi Flick will meet Japan. The kick-off time is now set. There is also a surprise in the opening game.

The German national soccer team begins its World Cup mission in Qatar on November 23 at 2:00 p.m. (4:00 p.m. local time) with the first group game against Japan at the Khalifa International Stadium. This emerges from the World Cup schedule published by the world association FIFA on Saturday night.

The top game in Group E against Spain on November 27th and the final against Costa Rica or New Zealand on December 1st will take place during German prime time. Both matches start at 8 p.m. at Al Bayt Stadium.

Surprisingly, the first World Cup game will not be played by host Qatar. According to the game plan, Senegal meets the Netherlands on November 21 at 11:00 a.m. Only after the duel in Group B between England and Iran (2:00 p.m.) will Qatar make their World Cup debut against Ecuador at 5:00 p.m. (all times CET) in the Al Bayt Stadium.
