About This Match
Germany face Paraguay in the Round of 32 on Monday, June 29, 2026. Germany are ranked #10 in the world and managed by Julian Nagelsmann; Paraguay sit at #40 under Gustavo Alfaro. The match kicks off at 13:00 local time at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Germany
Germany enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup with renewed optimism after the disappointment of early exits in 2018 and 2022. Coach Julian Nagelsmann has overseen a regeneration built around two extraordinary young talents - Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala - who are already among the best players in the world at their age. Die Mannschaft, four-time World Cup champions, are placed in Group E alongside Ecuador, Ivory Coast, and debutants Curaçao, a draw that should allow them to qualify comfortably and build momentum. The German public demands nothing less than a deep run, and the talent is finally there to deliver.
Read Germany preview →Paraguay
Paraguay bring a proud World Cup tradition to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having reached the quarter-finals at South Africa 2010 where they were only eliminated by Spain. Newcastle United's Miguel Almirón, one of the Premier League's most popular midfielders, provides star quality, while the creative Julio Enciso adds dynamism. Under veteran CONMEBOL coach Gustavo Alfaro, Los Guaraníes are a disciplined, hard-working side that will be competitive in Group D against the United States, Australia, and Turkey. Paraguay's ability to organise defensively and strike on the counter-attack makes them dangerous opponents for any side.
