Hummels: Germany Not Favorites for World Cup

According to former German national team player Dietmar Hamann, the German national team is unlikely to be among the main favorites for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. "It is evident that even matches against relatively weaker teams on paper are proving to be challenging for this team.

Nevertheless, Germany successfully completed the qualification phase, although it was a tense process. However, there are two or three teams in Europe stronger than us.

For example, England, France, and Spain. Germany will be among the wide range of contenders for the World Cup title but will not be among the main favorites.

I don't think this status will change by the summer," Hamann said in an interview with Germany's Ran publication. It should be noted that the German national team failed to advance to the knockout stages in both the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.
