Germany announce squad for FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

DFB-Team will be looking to win their 3rd World Cup title

The German nation's squad has been one of the best teams in women's football in the past, so the squad preparing for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 will be under a lot of pressure.

Although Germany have already claimed the Women's World Cup repeatedly (in 2003 and 2007), they have not recently exhibited the same level of supremacy.

But this team appeared to be returning to the top after their run to the Euro 2022 final. Germany demonstrated that their present generation of footballers are capable of competing against the greatest although succumbing to England in overtime.

With a lot of new players breaking through, coach Martina Voss-Tecklenberg has been supervising something of a shifting of the guard.

Lena Oberdorf, a 21-year-old defensive midfielder for Wolfsburg, is regarded as one of the greatest in the world. At 20 and 22, respectively, Jule Brand and Klara Bühl are two of the most dangerous wingers in women's football.

Many of the old generation are leaving the scene as these young people come through. In recent years, Dzsenifer Marozsan declared that she was quitting international football. She cited her national team's injuries history as a factor in her decision.
