Football/ Ghana to face Germany in Stuttgart in Crucial World Cup tune-up
The Ghana Football Association has confirmed the Black Stars will play Germany in an international friendly on March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart. This high-profile match serves as critical preparation for both nations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
Ghanaian coach Otto Addo, who spent his career in Germany, hailed the fixture. “This is an amazing opportunity to test ourselves against one of the best,” he stated. German counterpart Julian Nagelsmann noted the tactical value, suggesting Ghana’s “strong transition play” mirrors their World Cup group opponent, Ivory Coast.
Historically, matches have been tight. Germany won 1-0 at the 2010 World Cup, but the teams drew 2-2 in the 2014 group stage.
With Ghana facing England, Croatia, and Panama in Group L, and Germany matched with Ivory Coast, Ecuador, and Curaçao in Group E, this friendly offers a vital benchmark for both sides’ tournament readiness.
