Real Madrid and Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has made a major sacrifice in a bid to get extra fit ahead of returning to international football at Euro 2024. "I think he's given up sweets since the beginning of the year," his brother Felix Kroos, a former professional footballer, told dpa. "It's all about small percentage gains that you can eke out." The 34-year-old, who just won a fourth Spanish league title with Madrid, quit the Germany team in 2021 but has been persuaded to return for the home Euros in June and July. A wish to prolong his career for as long as possible at the highest level ...

Experts believe that Germany hosting the men's European Football Championship in June and July will have no direct effect on the flagging economy. Euro 2024 will be held across 10 cities from June 14-July 14. It is the biggest sporting event to be held in Germany since the 2006 men's football World Cup, which is fondly remembered by Germans as the "summer fairytale" for its cultural - if not necessarily - economic impact. "The Euros could have a positive psychological and indirect effect on the German economy. Hotels and the catering industry in particular will benefit from additional demand, ...

The prospect of becoming the youngest coach to win the men's European Football Championship is a motivating factor for Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann celebrates his 37th birthday nine days after the final in Berlin's Olympic Stadium on July 14. The youngest coach to win the European Championship to date is Spain's José Villalonga, who lifted the trophy with Spain in 1964 aged 44. "A little bit," Nagelsmann told Magenta TV when asked if the age record was on his mind but that it would be "outweighed" by simply winning a fourth Euros on home soil after years of woe for the German men...

Austria midfielder Xaver Schlager has been ruled out of Euro 2024 with a knee ligament tear, his club side RB Leipzig said in a statement on Saturday. He suffered the injury in Friday's 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Hoffenheim. The 26-year-old will undergo surgery in Innsbruck on Sunday, but will be out for at least six months. Leipzig coach Marco Rose had been hopeful it was nothing serious after the match but that proved to be wrong. Before his transfer from Wolfsburg to Leipzig in 2022, the midfielder tore a different cruciate ligament in August 2021. He also missed two months from March due to ...

Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann will name his squad for the Euro 2024 on home soil on May 16 in Berlin, the German Football Federation (DFB) said on Friday. The squad announcement will come two days before the last matchday in the Bundesliga. Nagelsmann will be able to name 26 players after European ruling body UEFA approved expanded squads for the tournament on Friday. Germany's first training camp is to begin on May 26 in Blankenhain in the state of Thuringia. It's unclear, however, how many players will be available by then, since players from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund ...

Hosts Germany are going into Euro 2024 with the aim of lifting the trophy but will likely do so without former key players Mats Hummels and Leon Goretzka, coach Julian Nagelsmann has said. Germany have had poor results at recent big events and over most of 2023 but Nagelsmann appears to have managed a turnaround when they beat France and the Netherlands in friendly internationals. German Football Federation (DFB) president Bernd Neuendorf has named a semi-final berth as the aim for a good tournament, and Nagelsmann went a step further in an interview with Magenta TV published on Thursday. "Whe...

Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck has not given up hope to be included in Germany's Euro 2024 squad although he is yet to be called up by coach Julian Nagelsmann. "I hope he does it at some point, preferably in the summer", Schlotterbeck told Sky TV. Centre back Schlotterbeck, 24, has won 11 caps and played in two of Germany's three matches at the 2022 World Cup. He is a regular starter in Dortmund but has not been called up for the six matches Germany has played since Nagelsmann became national team coach last autumn. Nagelsmann has suggested that he will only make minor tweaks to...

A newly established police centre in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia will be used to manage the security situation during the Euro 2024 in Germany from June 14 to July 14. "The danger is abstractly high and we're taking it seriously so it doesn't become concrete. To this end, all information relating to football and security will be collected and evaluated around the clock in one place," Herbert Reul, the state's interior minister, said during a visit to the International Police Cooperation Centre (IPCC) in Neuss on Tuesday. "Communication and speed are key when dealing with situations. Th...
