Germany national football team honours
Titles and honours awarded to the Germany national football team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germany national football team (German: Deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft or Die Mannschaft) has represented Germany in men's international football since 1908.[1] The team is governed by the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund), founded in 1900.[2][3] Ever since the DFB was reinaugurated in 1949 the team has represented the Federal Republic of Germany. Under Allied occupation and division, two other separate national teams were also recognised by FIFA: the Saarland team representing the Saarland (1950–1956) and the East German team representing the German Democratic Republic (1952–1990). Both have been absorbed along with their records[4][5] by the current national team. The official name and code "Germany FR (FRG)" was shortened to "Germany (GER)" following the reunification in 1990.
Germany is one of the most successful national teams in international competitions, having won four World Cups (1954, 1974, 1990, 2014), three European Championships (1972, 1980, 1996), and one Confederations Cup (2017).[2] They have also been runners-up three times in the European Championships, four times in the World Cup, and a further four third-place finishes at World Cups.[2] East Germany won Olympic Gold in 1976.[6]
Germany and Spain are the only nations to have won both the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women's World Cup.[7][8] At the end of the 2014 World Cup, Germany earned the highest Elo rating of any national football team in history, with a record 2,205 points.[9] Germany is also the only European nation that has won a FIFA World Cup in the Americas.
