Germany secure 2027 World Cup spot with win over Norway

Germany secured their place at the 2027 FIFA World Cup with a 2:0 victory over Norway. The result mathematically guarantees their qualification ahead of the final matches in the European qualifying group.

The team now turns its focus to Tuesday’s fixture against Slovenia. A win would further solidify their standings in the group. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum ahead of the World Cup.

Midfielder Florian Wirtz highlighted the team’s progress, stating that the pressure has eased after securing qualification. The squad is expected to rotate some players for the Slovenia game to manage fatigue.

Germany’s next World Cup qualifier is scheduled for March 2026. The 2027 tournament will be held in Brazil.

Nagelsmann confirmed that fringe players will get minutes against Slovenia to keep squad options open.
