DFB set 12 May for Germany’s World Cup squad announcement

12 May has been set for Germany’s initial World Cup squad announcement, with Monday’s meeting with Ghana the final outing before the selection is named.

The venue for the 12 May announcement is still to be confirmed. It falls four days before the final Bundesliga matchday.

The final 26-man list is expected at the beginning of June, and all players in it should be drawn from a preliminary pool that could extend to 55.

Germany plan to begin their final preparations at a training camp in Herzogenaurach on 25 May.

They will then play Finland in Mainz, before facing co-hosts USA in Chicago as the final warm-up fixture.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side open their tournament against debutants Curaçao on 14 June in Houston. Germany went out at the group stage in successive tournaments after their 2014 triumph in Brazil.
