The German women's football team is getting ready for World Cup qualification. Coach Christian Wück leads them to build skills and teamwork.
The German women’s football team looks ahead to the World Cup qualification in 2026. After a year of growth without a title win, they work to get better. Coach Christian Wück builds on lessons from past games.
Christian Wück’s contract ends this year. Talks to extend it are happening now. They hope to finish before qualification starts in March. Wück feels good about the team’s path and support from DFB sports director Nia Künzer.
Wück brings in new players and sets a solid team base. Key players like goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger and captain Giulia Gwinn lead the way. Wück stresses better play style and more player choices.
The team starts qualification on March 3 against Slovenia. They also play Norway and Austria. The goal is to top the group for a direct World Cup spot. If no playoffs, they play friendlies to prep.
Wück is proud of progress but sees room to improve, like scoring more goals. He wants better Bundesliga games to help players grow. The home European Championship in 2029 is a big chance for women’s football in Germany.
Even with hurdles, Wück enjoys the team’s energy and play. Players share a strong bond and look forward to the road ahead. With almost two years to the next big event, they keep working to improve.
