The anticipation is building as Germany, the hosts and one of the favorites, gear up for UEFA EURO 2024.
Their preparations kick off with an international friendly against a strong Ukraine side.
Match Preview
Julian Nagelsmann, the new coach, took charge of the German national team during the October international break.
He replaced Hansi Flick after Die Mannschaft’s disappointing performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Despite initial doubts, Germany has regained momentum with excellent performances against the Netherlands and France in March.
Key players like Toni Kroos, who came out of international retirement, bolster their chances.
The Germans find themselves in Group A alongside Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland, aiming to make a strong impact on home soil.
Under the management of former Tottenham Hotspur striker Serhiy Rebrov, Ukraine secured their spot in UEFA EURO 2024 through dramatic playoff victories against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iceland.
La Liga golden boot winner Artem Dovbyk leads Ukraine’s attack, while goalkeeping options Anatoliy Trubin and Andriy Lunin provide stability.
The squad also features talented players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, now named captain, and exciting prospects Mykhaylo Mudryk, Heorhiy Sudakov, and Viktor Tsygankov.
