Germany's new home shirt leaked for the Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022, and the German Men's National Team Preview
The FIFA World Cup 2022 is now only three months away and the new jerseys of the participating teams are also being released one after the other. So, what will Bayern Munich’s German contingent wear? The kit has yet to be officially released, but Footy Headlines, usually very reliable due to its leaks, has released a semi-official leak.

That’s what Hansi Flick’s team will do at the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The bottom of the shirt is white as usual, but there is a thick black stripe separating the shirt from top to bottom.
The Adidas logo and DFB badge are in the centre of the jersey, which seems to be a common theme in German jerseys these days – Frauen (congratulations on their success at the European Championship by the way) also wears the logo in the middle.
It looks like a rather polarizing design. Although the reception from the editors of BFW seemed positive, the writer thought it was the scariest German sweater of the past decade. It’s not easy to mess up a German jersey, but Adidas did, so kudos to them. Because of this, I appreciate the current German pinstripe shirts.
Footy Headlines say the kits will be released in August or September, so it’s safe to assume they could make their debut in Germany’s remaining two Nations League games against Hungary and England.
With England’s game at Wembley, Germany will almost certainly wear their away kit for that game. It is unclear whether the new away kits will be released at that time. BFW will keep you updated on the details once they are in.
Germany, Men’s National Team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Germany national coach Hansi Flick has 26 spots to fill the Men’s FIFA World Cup in December. Normally they’ve got the ball rolling now, but the Winter Championship means there’s still a lot of dust to go – with two more Nations League games in September and the entire Bundesliga Hinrunde. This is an early snapshot of the current situation.
The 26 is three places more than in previous World Cups; it corresponds to last year’s European Championship. This time, all players are on the match day roster, allowing five substitutions instead of three.
Earlier we looked at tactics and critical positional warfare. Now let’s try out the lineup selection ahead of time.
The locks (and almost locks)
We’ll start with two depths per outfield position. Features of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund:
| GK | Manuel Neuer (Bayern) | Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona) |
| LB | David Raum (RB Leipzig) | Robin Gosens (Inter) |
| CB | Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid) | Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund) |
| CB | Niklas Süle (Dortmund) | Mats Hummels (Dortmund) |
| RB | Lukas Klostermann (Leipzig) | Thilo Kehrer (PSG) |
| DM | Joshua Kimmich (Bayern) | Anton Stach (Mainz 05) |
| CM | İlkay Gündoğan (Man City) | Leon Goretzka (Bayern) |
| LM | Jamal Musiala (Bayern) | Leroy Sané (Bayern) |
| AM | Thomas Müller (Bayern) | Marco Reus (Dortmund) |
| RW | Jonas Hofmann (Gladbach) | Serge Gnabry (Bayern) |
| FW | Timo Werner (Chelsea) | Kai Havertz (Chelsea) |
Gosens played very little in his return from injury for Inter Milan. If he returns to his stellar 2019-21 form, the attacking left-back should be an easy option. Qatar Football World Cup fans to buy Germany Football World Cup Tickets from our website.
• Hummels left the national team as he struggled with an ongoing patella problem. He still has an elite division and will round out the BVB defensive. One last cheer? If not, Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) seems to be the favourite.
• Stach broke through last season and made his Bundesliga debut. Flick seems to be planning with him, but he has to keep moving forward.
• Like Hummels, Reus must monitor his health. Reus was injured in all four Nations League games in June after skipping last year’s European Championship. However, he is one of Germany’s most talented and deadly attackers – and it can be done.
• Kevin Trapp of Eintracht Frankfurt would have to fight Bernd Leno, the outgoing Arsenal, for a disappointing bid for a third GK appearance.
The bubble
A fair guess is how Germany might choose to round out their roster using three flexible points:
1. Attack RB. Thilo Kehrer is a Swiss knife on the back. He can move to the left back and reverse the asymmetry. VfL Wolfsburg’s Ridle Baku has been frozen, somewhat inexplicably, since last fall. Benjamin Henrichs of RB Leipzig did not quite take his place.
2. A more traditional number. 9: Search continues with no apparent match. Wolfsburg’s Lukas Nmecha now has the inside. Monaco striker Kevin Volland is still on the pitch and he wants the chance to play for NT other than full-back. If Flick can find an approach to Mario Gomez, maybe he will take it.
3. The third position is open. An additional defender could also play DM, such as Robin Koch (Leeds United) or Emre Can (Dortmund) who played in the European Championship last year. Experienced attackers such as Julian Draxler (Paris Saint-Germain) or Julian Brandt (Dortmund). Or a fast young striker like Karim Adeyemi (Dortmund) who goes on an adventure to the Bundesliga. Flick adjusts his team’s balance by deciding where to put the extra reinforcements.
What if I have to name three now? Brandt, Baku, Nmecha. A smooth and skilled maker, Brandt finds his way for BVB (9 goals, 10 assists). His cameo for Hungary was brief but determined. He can play CM, AM and flank.
Dark horses?
An unknown name to keep an eye on this fall: Mainz 05’s Jonathan Burkardt. However, for a senior call-up, the energetic striker and U-21 captain broke out with 11 goals last season and is just 22 years old. Bayern may also note that his contract will expire in 2024.
Elsewhere, Mario Gotze returns to the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt. The return of the 2014 World Cup heroes will be the story of a comeback through the ages. Qatar World Cup fans to buy Costa Rica Vs Germany Tickets from our website.
Germany has five new faces to see in the Bundesliga this season
Fresh-faced Bayern Munich will enter the 2022/23 season as favourites to claim their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title, despite one of the more turbulent off-seasons in recent memory.
Bayern lost star striker Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, but the 31-time German champion was reinforced throughout the park with Liverpool striker Sadio Mane and Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt joined by Ajax duo Ryan Gravenburgh and Noussair Mazraoui and the French striker Mathys Tel.
AFP Sport will see five new faces this weekend in the Bundesliga that kicks off the season.
Matthijs de Ligt
Bayern immediately reinvested the €50 million transfer fee that Barcelona paid to Lewandowski, bringing De Ligt, one of Europe’s greatest defensive talents, from Serie A to Juventus.
Bayern has reportedly spent 70 million euros ($71.3 million) on an entry fee to bring the former Golden Boy winner to Saebener Strasse, making De Ligt the second most expensive transfer fee in the club’s history.
As well as bolstering De Ligt’s defensive prowess, Bayern secured the lead by signing the 22-year-old. The Dutch international became the youngest captain in Champions League history when he led Ajax against Real Madrid in 2019 at the age of 19.
Karim Adeyemi
Borussia Dortmund secured the services of Red Bull Salzburg striker Adeyemi at the start of the season, despite interest from several elite European clubs.
Dortmund has reportedly paid € 30 million for the former Bayern Munich youth team, who can play as a lone striker or on both flanks.
While not a comparable replacement, Adeyemi’s nose for goals should at least partially replace him with the black-and-yellow output of Erling Haaland, who has left this season.
Adeyemi led Austria’s top scorer’s list with 19 goals in Salzburg’s ninth consecutive title win and scored in Friday’s first-round German Cup victory over Borussia Dortmund in Munich in 1860. FIFA World Cup 2022 fans to buy Football World Cup Tickets from our website.
Mario Goetze
A far cry from the Bundesliga rookie, World Cup-winning attacking midfielder Goetze is back in Germany at Frankfurt’s Eintracht after a successful two-year stretch with Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven.
Goetze won the Dutch Super Cup and Dutch Cup during his time at PSV, showing the form with which he won the Golden Boy in 2011 and making him one of Europe’s most promising players.
Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt hope the five-time Bundesliga champions will bring some much-needed experience and tricks to the Eagles, who are playing in the Champions League for the first time this season.
David Raum
The addition of the new RB Leipzig to Raum could be just the addition the German Cup winners need to secure their first Bundesliga title in 2022/23.
Left-back Raum has 11 assists and three league goals for Hoffenheim in his first season at the top level after signing Greuther Fuerth.
His performances earned him his first call-up to the national team, and the 24-year-old quickly established himself as a key part of manager Hansi Flick’s German squad ahead of this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Raum, who is also in high demand at Bayern and Borussia Dortmund after his impressive 2021/22 season, said that “moving to Leipzig was absolutely the right step for me” when he moved in at the end of July.
Maya Yoshida
The newly promoted giant Schalke took a big step in securing their top-flight residence as they took on Japanese central defender Yoshida for free from Serie A Sampdoria.
Yoshida, who has captained Japan since 2019 and will lead to a first-round draw with Germany at the Qatar FIFA World Cup later this year, played for Southampton of the Premier League from 2012 to 2020.
Yoshida, 33, replaced Samurai Blue representative Ko Itakura in Schalke’s defence following Itakura’s move to Bundesliga rival Borussia Moenchengladbach in July.
Upon arrival in the Bundesliga, Yoshida said he was “happy to wear the Schalke shirt” and stated that he was a longtime Royal Blue fan, having first seen Atsuto Uchida at the Veltins Arena between 2010 and 2017.
