Germany will face Austria home and away in the 2027 Women’s World Cup qualifiers in mid-April. Christian Wück named 23 players as the DFB-Frauen hope to maintain their perfect record.
Wolfsburg attacker Cora Zicai will return to the setup after missing the opening two games due to illness, but Klara Bühl is still out due to a serious injury. There are ten players on the standby list, including seven from the U23 selection.
On April 14th, Germany will host Austria at the Max-Morlock-Stadion in Nürnberg before traveling to their neighbors for another meeting four days later. Wück’s side started the qualifiers with big wins over Slovenia and Norway, while Austria are yet to earn a point.
