Germany will play Ghana in an international friendly on Monday, March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart.
The friendly match forms part of preparations for both countries in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America.
Ghana is coached by Hamburg-born Otto Addo, a former Bundesliga professional and 15-time Ghana international who won the German championship with Borussia Dortmund in 2002.
Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann said, “We are very much looking forward to the clash with Otto’s team. Their strong transition play can give us a taste of what to expect in the World Cup group match against Ivory Coast.”
Black Stars Coach Otto Addo is also looking ahead to the match. “This is an amazing opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world. Germany are a good side, and we can’t wait to face them in Stuttgart.”
Ghana qualified convincingly as group winners for the 2026 World Cup and will compete in Group L against England, Croatia, and Panama. The four-time African champions have faced Germany three times before.
In their first friendly in Bochum in 1993, Germany won 6–1. Two further encounters came at World Cups: in 2010 in South Africa, Germany prevailed 1–0 in the group stage, while their second group-stage meeting at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil ended in a 2–2 draw.
The match is scheduled for an 8:45 pm kickoff on Monday, March 30, 2026.
