Confirmed: Muheim also represents HSV at the World Cup! | OneFootball

After Luka Vuskovic, Miro Muheim was announced on Monday evening as the next Hamburg-based World Cup participant.

The left-back is part of Switzerland’s World Cup squad, whose announcement is being made piece by piece. A Swiss hairdresser had the honor of revealing nominations 12 through 14. Alongside Ardon Jashari and Nico Elvedi, who plays for league rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach, that also included Miro Muheim. His call-up came as little surprise, having been a regular part of the “Nati” since November 2024.

So far, the 28-year-old has made eight international appearances. Despite some strong performances, he is unlikely to claim a regular starting spot, as veteran Ricardo Rodriguez is considered the established first choice. Still, Muheim will head to the tournament in North America full of anticipation, as the trip is the reward for his steady development over five years in Hamburg.

World Cup with an internal HSV duel?

Switzerland faces manageable tasks in the group stage. In Group B, they will take on Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina led by former Hamburg player Dennis Hadzikadunic, and hosts Canada. In Group L, Luka Vuskovic will get the chance to show what he can do. His call-up also came as little surprise. The 19-year-old is even expected to be a starter.

Croatia will face England, Panama, and Ghana. That makes a meeting between two HSV professionals seem possible. Ransford Königsdörffer, after all, can certainly hope to feature for Ghana. However, coach Otto Addo, who brought him back for the international matches in March, has since had to leave his post. The attacker, whose contract with HSV expires on June 30, depends on the verdict of successor Carlos Queiroz.

In addition, Sander Tangvik, who made a brilliant debut in Leverkusen, could still be called up for Norway, and Nicolás Capaldo could move from Argentina’s provisional 55-man squad into coach Lionel Scaloni’s final selection, meaning as many as five HSV players could take part in the World Cup.
