Jonas Wind starts things off on Tuesday as Denmark meet Tunisia (14:00 CET), before Jakub Kaminski’s Poland play Mexico later the same day (17:00 CET). Koen Casteels and Belgium begin their campaign on Wednesday against Canada (20:00 CET).

SV Werder Bremen face a tough test on Sunday (16/04/2023, 15:30 CEST), when they welcome high-flyers SC Freiburg to the wohninvest WESERSTADION.

Pál Dárdai played 373 times in all competitions for Hertha and has since taken charge of 203 competitive matches as head coach for the club. We have no exact number for his training sessions at Schenckendorffplatz, but it’s surely well over 1,000.
