World Cup final against Germany? HSV star has a dream! | OneFootball

A real dream is about to come true for Miro Muheim in the coming weeks: the HSV star is traveling to the 2026 World Cup with the Swiss national team.

On Monday evening, Switzerland coach Murat Yakin named Muheim in the national squad. A Swiss hairdresser had the honor of announcing players twelve through 14. Alongside Ardon Jashari and Nico Elvedi, who plays for league rival Borussia Mönchengladbach, Muheim was among them. His nomination came as little surprise, as he has been a regular part of the squad since November 2024.

So far, the 28-year-old has made eight international appearances. Despite some impressive performances, winning a regular starting spot will be difficult, as veteran Ricardo Rodriguez is considered the established first choice. Muheim will still head to the finals in North America full of anticipation. “A dream is coming true for me,” he told NDR. “I used to follow these tournaments as a child. Now I’m part of it myself. I still can’t quite believe it.”

HSV star Muheim hopes for a clash with Germany

But Muheim is by no means willing to spend the coming weeks as just a World Cup tourist. Quite the opposite: the left-footer is extremely ambitious ahead of the start of preparations. “We have big goals. We have a good team with a lot of quality. Our first goal is to win the group,” Muheim made clear. Switzerland will face Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and host nation Canada there.

However, the Hamburg player is already looking much further ahead. Asked about his dream final on July 19 in New York, he replied with a wink: “Switzerland against Germany wouldn’t be bad.”

In fact, the two teams met only a few weeks ago. In a friendly international in March, the Germany national team won 4–3 at St. Jakob-Park in Basel. Muheim came on as a substitute in that match and set up Switzerland’s goal to make it 3–3 at the time. He now wants to experience similar moments on football’s biggest stage.
