Germany vs Curaçao: Opening Group E Match at FIFA World Cup 2026

The Group E opener at the FIFA World Cup 2026 will see Germany face off against debutants Curaçao on June 14 in Texas, USA. The match carries high stakes: four-time champions Germany aim to start strong, while Curaçao hopes to make history in their first World Cup appearance.

Match Preview

This fixture presents the largest gap in FIFA rankings among first-round matches in this tournament. Germany arrives in Texas having won nine games in a row, including a recent 2-1 victory over co-hosts USA in Chicago. Julian Nagelsmann, Germany’s 38-year-old coach and the youngest at the tournament, leads the team. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who will likely start, would join Lothar Matthäus as the only German players to appear in five World Cups.

Curaçao, coached by 78-year-old Dick Advocaat—the oldest manager ever in a World Cup match—qualified impressively by scoring 28 goals in CONCACAF qualifiers, more than any other team. Despite only one win in their last five matches before a 4-0 win over Aruba, they arrive with hope. Kenji Gorré, leading scorer during qualifying, contributed six goal involvements (3 goals, 3 assists).

Leroy Sané, who scored in Germany’s warm-up against the USA, has been involved in many high-scoring games recently. An injury to Lennart Karl means Assan Ouédraogo will take his place. These teams have never met before; Germany has lost just twice in their last 17 World Cup games against CONCACAF and CONMEBOL teams.
