GERMANY – AWAY SHIRT 2016
Germany’s national team are one of international football’s true giants, representing a nation with an unparalleled footballing pedigree. Die Mannschaft have consistently set the benchmark on the world stage, winning four FIFA World Cups (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014) and three UEFA European Championships (1972, 1980, 1996).
This formidable legacy has been shaped by legendary figures such as Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Lothar Matthäus, Oliver Kahn, and Miroslav Klose. Klose remains the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history, while Matthäus holds the record for most minutes played in the tournament. Beckenbauer, arguably the nation’s most iconic football figure, famously lifted the World Cup both as a player and later as a manager, cementing his place in football history.
Arriving at 2016 as reigning world champions, Joachim Löw’s side carried both expectation and belief as they sought to translate global dominance into European success.
Germany took to the pitch in this refined away shirt during their 2016 campaign, wearing it at UEFA EURO 2016 in France. With leaders such as Manuel Neuer, Jérôme Boateng, Toni Kroos, Mesut Özil, and Thomas Müller anchoring the squad, Germany once again entered the tournament among the favourites.
EURO 2016 proved to be a tense and tactical affair. Germany progressed steadily through the group stage before defeating Slovakia in the Round of 16 and overcoming Italy in a dramatic quarter-final decided by penalties. Their journey ended in the semi-finals with a narrow 2–0 defeat to hosts France, denying them a place in the final.
As of 2026, Germany have already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup and have been drawn into a group alongside Curacao, Ivory Coast, and Ecuador. Die Mannschaft will be aiming to assert their authority from the outset and set themselves up for a deep run in North America, led by players such as Nico Schlotterbeck, Florian Wirtz, and Joshua Kimmich.
