Germany UEFA Women's Euro 2025 Preview

Previous Euro Appearances: 11

Best Finish: Champions (1989, 1991, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013)

Group: Germany is in Group C along with Poland, Denmark, and Sweden

What Stands Out: Historically Europe’s strongest team, Germany has won eight of the 13 women’s European Championships all-time. But the Frauenteam’s last continental title came more than a decade ago now, back in 2013.

Top Players To Watch: Just 25, fullback/midfielder Giulia Gwinn captains coach Christian Wück’s young squad. With 108 caps, Lyon’s Sara Däbritz has 25 more caps than the next most experienced German player. But all eyes will be on Lea Schuller, the 27-year-old Bayern Munich striker who'll be the focal point in the attack.

Keep An Eye On: Defender Franziska Kett and forward Cora Zicai. Both 20, they’re the youngest members of Wück’s roster. 

This Euro Will Be A Success If: Germany hoists the trophy for the ninth time, especially following two disappointing finishes in recent tournaments. After a heartbreaking loss to England at the previous Euro, and then an uncharacteristic group-stage finish at the 2023 Women's World Cup, this team should be eyeing some silverware in Switzerland.
