Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars, will take on four-time world champions Germany in an international friendly scheduled for Monday, March 30, 2026, in Stuttgart. The high-profile encounter forms part of preparations for both nations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
The match presents a major test for the Black Stars, who are coached by Otto Addo, a Hamburg-born former Bundesliga professional and ex-Ghana international. Addo, who won the German Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund in 2002, is expected to use the game to assess his squad against elite opposition.
Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann expressed enthusiasm about the fixture, noting that Ghana’s quick transitions and physical style would offer valuable preparation ahead of their World Cup group match against Ivory Coast.
Otto Addo also welcomed the challenge, describing the friendly as an important opportunity for Ghana to measure its strength against one of the best teams in world football. He emphasized the value of such matches in sharpening the team’s tactical and mental readiness for the global tournament.
Ghana qualified convincingly for the 2026 World Cup as group winners and have been drawn into Group L, where they will face England, Croatia, and Panama. The upcoming friendly against Germany adds to the Black Stars’ history with the European giants, having met them three times previously. Germany won a friendly 6–1 in Bochum in 1993, edged Ghana 1–0 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and played out a thrilling 2–2 draw at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The match will kick off at 8:45 pm local time on March 30, 2026, and is expected to attract significant global attention as both teams fine-tune preparations for football’s biggest stage.
