Bulgaria will face Hungary, Serbia, Lithuania, and Montenegro in Group G of the qualifying round. Ilia Gruev’s team have lost and drawn two matches so far, and are sitting in fourth place with two points on the board. The Bulgarians now have the opportunity to turn the tide in their favour, starting with a win against Montenegro.

Werder’s other international players such as Niclas Füllkrug, Jiri Pavlenka and Romano Schmid are still awaiting a call up from their respective federations. The DFB will take on Japan in a friendly on Saturday 9th September 2023 at 20:45 CEST, and are set to play France three days later. Germany are guaranteed qualification due to being the host country of the tournament.
