After the duel against Turkey, there will be a test match on November 21st (8:45 p.m.) in Vienna against Austria to round off the year in preparation for the European Championship. The European Championship groups will be drawn in Hamburg on December 2nd (6 p.m.). Germany is set to host as head of Group A with games in Munich (June 14), Stuttgart (June 19) and Frankfurt (June 23).

The DFB team last played 3-3 against Turkey in a friendly in Cologne in 2020 under Joachim Löw as national coach. The former German junior coach Stefan Kuntz was recently on leave as Turkey’s national coach. Löw was considered a possible successor, but Vincenzo Montella got the job.
