Christian Wück has announced his 23-player squad for the Women’s EURO 2025. The head coach believes that reaching the semifinals is “certainly realistic” but also expects at least one surprise team to break through to the knockout rounds. Find out who made the Germany women’s national team, when and where their group matches will be played, and how to watch the tournament.
Germany National Women’s Team
Head coach Christian Wück has selected the following players for the Women’s EURO 2025:
- Goalkeepers: Ann-Katrin Berger, Stina Johannes, Ena Mahmutovic.
- Defenders: Giulia Gwinn, Kathrin Hendrich, Franziska Kett, Sophia Kleinherne, Rebecca Knaak, Sarai Linder, Janina Minge, Carlotta Wamser.
- Midfielders: Sara Däbritz, Sjoeke Nüsken, Linda Dallmann, Giovanna Hoffmann, Elisa Senß.
- Forwards: Jule Brand, Selina Cerci, Laura Freigang, Lea Schüller, Sydney Lohmann, Cora Zicai, Klara Bühl.
On Cora Zicai: “Cora had a check-up MRI a few days ago and has been working with the physios in Freiburg. The scan showed that it’s only a superficial injury. The doctors are confident she’ll be ready to join training when we start preparation on June 19 in Herzogenaurach.”
On Nicole Anyomi: “Nicole has been dealing with knee issues for some time and wants to give herself the chance to fully recover. The decision not to take part came from her. Her body is her most valuable asset, and she can only give 100 percent when it’s functioning well. Of course, she’ll have every chance to be called up again in the new season.”
On Alara: “There’s a lot of competition for her position. We know her strengths and appreciate her value, but we also know that she has many top-level years ahead of her. For this tournament, we’ve chosen other players.”
On Rauch: “Here, we had to make a fundamental decision: do we go with the experienced player, or do we take a chance on the young, energetic Franziska Kett? Kett performed well in the last matches, so we decided to go with her.”
What the head coach had to say
Head coach Christian Wück after announcing his Germany squad:
On the team’s chances at the tournament:
“I’ve always said that we’re aiming to drive forward a process of development. We’ve had to manage retirements and integrate younger players. That process isn’t finished yet, but anyone who’s watched our recent games can see we’re on the right track. England, Spain, and France consider us among the contenders, and I’m confident we’ll have a good tournament. But of course, that also requires some luck and staying injury-free. If we perform at 100 percent, anything is possible.”
On the host country, Switzerland:
“Of course, we want to help the players connect with Switzerland. On the second day, we’ll have a team event to get to know the country a bit. We’re not only relying on support from German fans – the further we go in the tournament, the more we’ll need the support of the Swiss as well. That’s why I think it’s important to build a connection with the host country.”
