National coach Julian Nagelsmann and the DFB have decided on an unusual squad presentation before the European Football Championship in their own country: Even before the official announcement date, individual names will be broadcast on various media channels such as TV programs (“Tagesschau”, “Brisant”). or announced via influencers and social media.
This is how the latest European Championship nomination was made Bayer Leverkusen’s master player Florian Wirtz made public by rapper Nina Chuba. The singer announced the 21-year-old’s appointment to the national soccer team squad at a concert in Hamburg on Wednesday evening. The midfielder then spoke via video to the cheers of the audience. “I’m looking forward to the nomination and of course to the summer,” said Wirtz and wished the concertgoers a nice evening.
In our photo series we will keep you up to date with who has already been nominated – so far there are 17 players. It is still unclear whether more of the 23 players will be known by the time of the complete squad presentation via video on Thursday afternoon – it is also unclear whether UEFA will increase the squad size to 26.
