GHANA and Germany are set to play each other in an international friendly match on Monday, March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart. This game is part of both teams' preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This match is important for both teams. Ghana will use it to test themselves against strong competition after a solid qualifying campaign, while Germany will use it to build up for the tournament.
Ghana is being coached by Otto Addo, a coach who was born in Hamburg and has strong connections to German football. He was a Bundesliga player and a Ghana international. He was part of the Borussia Dortmund team that won the German league title in 2002.
The match is scheduled to start in Stuttgart at 8:45 pm local time on Monday, March 30, 2026. Germany's head coach, Julian Nagelsmann, is looking forward to the game, believing it will be a good chance for his team to gain experience.
"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.
Addo is also excited about the challenge, seeing the friendly as a key opportunity for Ghana to test their level against one of the world's top teams in front of a European audience. "This is an amazing opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world.
Germany are a good side, and we can't wait to face them in Stuttgart," Addo said. Ghana have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and have been placed in Group L, where they will face England, Croatia, and Panama.
The four-time African champions have a long but limited history with Germany, having played them three times before. Their first meeting was in a friendly in Bochum in 1993, which Germany won 6-1.
The teams met again at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where Germany won 1-0 in the group stage. They also played against each other in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, ending in a 2-2 draw.
