Was Kai Havertz called up by Julian Nagelsmann for Germany FIFA World Cup 2026 squad?

Kai Havertz helped Arsenal win the Premier League by scoring against Burnley.

The Germany national football team will now be gearing up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the last two editions (2018 and 2022) of the mega competition, they have shockingly failed to get past the group stage. Has Kai Havertz been called up?

They will not be looking to make the same mistakes now. Julian Nagelsmann is going to the World Cup as a head coach for the first time. Leading Germany at the grandest stage of them all is not going to be an easy task.

However, their performances in the World Cup qualifiers and then in the last two friendlies have been good. Although they are buckled up, the mega competition is going to come up with a lot of pressure. It will be interesting to see their performances.

The Germany national football team are placed in Group E along with the likes of Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador. These opponents are not going to allow Julian Nagelsmann’s men through without a tough fight.

Will Kai Havertz play in the FIFA World Cup 2026?

Yes, the Arsenal forward has received a call-up to represent Germany in FIFA’s flagship competition, which is scheduled to take place in Canada, Mexico and the USA.

Julian Nagelsmann has a clear message for Kai Havertz: “On the pitch, you are outstanding. Incredibly important for us. Stay healthy, clear your mind and go for it. You have everything we need to have a top goalscorer up front.”

The 26-year-old has been included in Germany’s final squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and is seemingly planned as the main No. 9 in attack. Havertz is only expected to play if fully fit.

Even though he has not been given much time on the field due to injuries and poor form, he is going to be a crucial asset in the attacking front alongside Deniz Undav and others.
