Germany fans can be pretty excited for 2018, the year of the next World Cup and a number of matches against the world’s top teams. Die Mannschaft will welcome Spain to Düsseldorf on 23rd March 2018 and four days later, on 27th March 2018, Brazil will visit the Olympiastadion in Berlin. DFB announced the fixtures at a meeting in Frankfurt today.
“We’re very pleased that we have successfully fulfilled our objective of securing fixtures against some of the best teams in the world despite the limited opportunities for friendlies,” said DFB president Reinhard Grindel. “The matches against Spain and Brazil will certainly offer a small taste of what is to come at the World Cup in Russia, where our head coach Jogi Löw and his team will give everything to try and defend Germany’s title. It would be brilliant if one of these friendlies were to be repeated in the World Cup final in Moscow next year.”
“Everybody wants to have these types of games, both the fans and the players,” added team coordinator Oliver Bierhoff. “I’m very happy that we will be able to test ourselves against world class teams that will also be challenging for the trophy as we head into World Cup year. We’re expecting two great footballing spectacles in Düsseldorf and Berlin, where, with the help of our fans, we can build some momentum which we will need to take us far in the tournament in Russia.”
Tickets for these games will go on sale in the summer. The DFB will provide details of relevant dates and conditions on DFB.de in due course.
