 | | The Germany national football team represents Germany in international football competitions, and is controlled by the German Football Association, the governing body of football in Germany. |
 | | Eight years after the establishment of the German Football Association (DFB), the first official match of the Germany national football team was played on 5 April 1908, against Switzerland at Basel, a 3-5 defeat. |
 | | After prospective candidates including Ottmar Hitzfeld and Otto Rehhagel turned down the job, former national team player Jürgen Klinsmann, who had never held any coaching jobs before, was appointed, with his main task being leading the national team to a good showing at the 2006 World Cup, which Germany will host. |
