Core players such as Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, and Kai Havertz are likely to feature as Nagelsmann focuses on building consistency and rhythm within his youthful side.<\/p>\n<p>For Ivory Coast, the encounter offers another opportunity to test their progress against European opposition. Frank Kessi\u00e9 remains a central figure in midfield, supported by the attacking flair of Amad Diallo and the defensive composure of Mehdi Loune Dou\u00e9, one of the brightest young prospects in African football.<\/p>\n<p>The Elephants have been on an upward trajectory since winning the 2024 AFCON on home soil, and Fa\u00e9\u2019s tactical organisation and emphasis on collective balance have earned praise both in Africa and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the first meeting between Germany and Ivory Coast since 2010, when the two sides played out a 2\u20132 draw in Gelsenkirchen.<\/p>\n<p>The friendly is expected to draw a large crowd in Stuttgart, with the match providing a useful benchmark for both teams as the countdown to the World Cup continues.<\/p>\n<p>Date: 30 March 2026<br \/>\nVenue: MHPArena, Stuttgart<br \/>\nKick-off: To be confirmed<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
