The final two internationals to be played infront of the home fans will take place on November 15 in Leipzig against FIFa World Cup hosts Russia and on November 19 in Gelsenkirchen against the Netherlands.
DFB president Reinhard Grindel said, “Our primary goal once the World Cup is over is to be given the honour of holding the EURO 2024 tournament at the end of September. The home game in Munich presents one more chance to underline just how much Germany loves football and how we are up to the task of hosting an international celebration of football once more.”
Manager of Die Mannschaft, Oliver Bierhoff added, “The two home games to conclude the year give us two more opportunities to thank our fans for their unwavering support. By holding the games in Gelsenkirchen and Leipzig, we can do that in two different regions and therefore emphasise how the team is at home no matter where they play in Germany.”
