Nagelsmann Anticipates Ghana Test Ahead of World Cup Preparations

Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has expressed his excitement ahead of the upcoming international friendly against Ghana, describing the Black Stars as a valuable benchmark for his team’s World Cup build-up.

Speaking on the significance of the fixture, Nagelsmann highlighted Ghana’s tactical strengths, particularly their ability to transition quickly from defence to attack, which he believes will pose a meaningful challenge for his side.

“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,” Nagelsmann said.

The friendly is expected to provide Germany with an important test as they continue fine-tuning their approach ahead of the global showpiece. For Ghana, the match offers another opportunity to measure themselves against elite opposition as preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup gather momentum.

With both teams using the encounter to sharpen their competitive edge, the fixture in Stuttgart promises to be a high-quality contest that benefits both sides in their respective World Cup campaigns.
