Ruled against Germany! World Cup winner’s brother switches national team | OneFootball

He progressed through the German youth teams from U15 to U19, and during the rise, including Champions League participation, of Union Berlin, his name was also mentioned in connection with the senior national team. Now, Rani Khedira has decided to switch associations and will wear the jersey of Tunisia in the future.

The younger brother of World Cup winner Sami Khedira hopes that the change of association will give him a chance to participate in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

The Tunisian association posted the confirmation of the association change by FIFA on its Instagram channel and shared this photo.

The association wrote: "The Tunisian Football Federation is honored to inform the sports audience and media representatives that the Football Court of the International Football Federation (FIFA) has officially approved the change of sporting affiliation of player Rani Khedira today."

As reported by 'transfermarkt.de', Khedira had declined Tunisia in 2018 because he only speaks German and communication on the field is very important to him. Therefore, the speeches will now be held in English. With assistant coach Michael Hefele, the Union professional can also converse in German.

The midfielder has always had his strengths in defense, but in the current season, he has also discovered his offensive potential and has already scored five times in the Bundesliga.
