The Germany national football team (German: Deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft or Die Mannschaft) has represented Germany in men's international football since 1908.[1] The team is governed by the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund), founded in 1900.[2][3] Ever since the DFB was reinaugurated in 1949 the team has represented the Federal Republic of Germany. Under Allied occupation and division, two other separate national teams were also recognised by FIFA: the Saarland team representing the Saarland (1950–1956) and the East German team representing the German Democratic Republic (1952–1990). Both have been absorbed along with their records[4][5] by the current national team. The official name and code "Germany FR (FRG)" was shortened to "Germany (GER)" following the reunification in 1990.
Germany is one of the most successful national teams in international competitions, having won four World Cups (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014), three European Championships (1972, 1980, 1996), and one Confederations Cup (2017).[2] They have also been runners-up three times in the European Championships, four times in the World Cup, and a further four third-place finishes at World Cups.[2] East Germany won Olympic Gold in 1976.[6]
Germany is the only nation to have won both the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women's World Cup.[7][8] At the end of the 2014 World Cup, Germany earned the highest Elo rating of any national football team in history, with a record 2,205 points.[9] Germany is also the only European nation that has won a FIFA World Cup in the Americas.

Penalties
[edit]As of 14 June 2024, 139 penalties have been given for Germany in 135 different matches. Of these, 102 were converted (80%). The first penalty was in Germany's second match to make the score 1–1 (the final score was 1–5). In two cases, Germany scored two penalties in a single match, and on each occasion both penalties were converted by the same player (Fritz Walter in the 1954 World Cup semi-finals and Bastian Schweinsteiger in a friendly). On three occasions did the same player, Fritz Förderer, Torsten Frings, and Lukas Podolski, successfully convert one penalty but miss another in the same match..[13]
The most frequent penalty taker for Germany was Michael Ballack, converting ten of eleven penalties taken. The most penalty misses recorded was by Jürgen Klinsmann, who could not convert three of six penalties taken. 28 penalties were converted by the captain (c) of the team, with Lothar Matthäus (seven times) converting the most penalties as captain.
Germany have received the most penalties against Bulgaria; they earned nine penalties in a total of 21 matches against the side (42% of matches), of which eight were converted. Germany have received six penalties against a reigning world champion, all of which were converted. Germany have also received thirteen penalties as reigning world champions, of which ten were converted.
In fifteen matches, the conversion of the penalty was decisive to the game's outcome, with four converted penalties reducing a deficit leading to a draw and one of these draws followed by another penalty for a win. In 36 matches, the converted penalty was the first goal, including Germany's first match against world champions Brazil in May 1963. Of these matches, the opponents managed to draw three times and win the match five times. On seven occasions, the converted penalty was the only goal of the match.
Significant penalties include the converted penalty by Herbert Burdenski in Germany's first match after World War II, as well as the penalty converted in the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final, which was taken by Andreas Brehme instead of originally-intended kicker Lothar Matthäus. This made Germany the first team to be given a penalty in two World Cup finals, after becoming the first team to concede a penalty in a FIFA World Cup final in 1974. Germany's 1990 World Cup quarter-final victory also saw the converted penalty being the only goal of the match.
In total, Germany converted 51 penalties in friendly matches, 18 in European Championship qualifiers, 11 in World Cup qualifiers and 10 in World Cup matches.
Eleven opposition goalkeepers faced a German penalty twice. Of these penalties, Germany only failed to score either against Alan Fettis of Northern Ireland. John Bonello (Malta) and Borislav Mihaylov (Bulgaria) were each able to save one of the two penalties.
Germany have been given the most penalties by Italian and Swiss referees (eleven each), with the Swiss referees officiating just over half as many matches as the Italians (55 vs. 109). Additionally, two of the three German referees who led a match of the German team gave a penalty for Germany. In both cases, the penalties were not decisive to the match as both ended 5–1: once in favour of the England amateur team and once for the German team against Croatia. Italian Nicola Rizzoli is the only referee to have awarded three penalties for the German team, including two in the same match; he also gave one penalty against the side. Nine other referees have given Germany two penalties.
Penalty shoot-outs
[edit]Germany have been involved in eight penalty shoot-outs, six of which were won and two lost. Germany and Argentina are the only sides that have won four shoot-outs at World Cups, but Germany is the only team ever to participate in this many World Cup shoot-outs with a 100 percent win rate. Consequently, Argentina's only defeat in a penalty shoot-out at a World Cup was against Germany. The most successful penalty takers in shoot-outs for Germany are Andreas Brehme, Pierre Littbarski, Lothar Matthäus and Olaf Thon, with two penalties converted each. Harald Schumacher is the most successful goalkeeper in shoot-outs, with four penalties saved. Sepp Maier (1976) and Eike Immel (1988) are the only goalkeepers who could not save a single penalty in a shoot-out. On four occasions, all German takers were successful in a shoot-out, and in three of these cases only four German kickers were required before the match was won. Even in Germany's two lost shoot-outs, the fifth kicker was not required to take a penalty. In two cases (1982 and 1996), an additional sixth German taker secured a shoot-out victory, while in 2016 this was achieved by the ninth kicker.
Sending off
[edit]So far, 27 German players have been sent off in a match, five of which were yellow-red cards from 1991. The first player to be sent off was Hans Kalb, in a match against Uruguay on 3 June 1928 at the 1928 Olympics; he thus also became the first captain of the German team to be sent off. Jérôme Boateng was the first player to be dismissed on his international debut, on 10 October 2009 in Moscow against Russia.[14] The first German player to be shown a red card in a World Cup match (used since 1970) was Thomas Berthold on 21 June 1986, in a quarter-final game against Mexico. Berthold was also the first German international to be sent off twice. Jérôme Boateng, Carsten Ramelow and Christian Wörns were also each sent off twice. Leroy Sané was the last player to be sent off, being dismissed on 21 November 2023 in a friendly match against Austria. Ron-Robert Zieler was the first German goalkeeper to be sent off, on 15 August 2012 against Argentina.
The most players to be sent off in a single Germany match is three, against Uruguay on 3 June 1928: the German players Hans Kalb and Richard Hofmann were dismissed, in addition to the Uruguayan José Nasazzi.
Two German players have been sent off after being brought on as a substitute: Ulf Kirsten and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Attendance
[edit]There have been thirteen matches played involving the German team with at least 100,000 spectators. Only two of these matches place in Germany. Two matches took place at a neutral venue, both at the Estadio Azteca. The majority of these matches took place when standing room was allowed at international matches and the stadiums thus had higher capacities. Currently, there are only two stadiums worldwide with a capacity of at least 100,000 spectators.

Match statistics
[edit]Consideration of extensions and penalty shoot-outs
[edit]Matches that were decided in extra time are scored according to their result.
The Germany national team partook in seven penalty shoot-outs at World Cup finals and European Championships, winning six and losing one. They also took part in a shoot-out during the Four Nations Tournament in 1988, which they lost.
The matches which were decided by penalty shoot-out are counted below as draws. The goals scored in shoot-outs are not taken into account for overall goals scored, goals conceded or goal difference.
