U20 Elite League Preview: Germany vs. Czech Republic

Germany will end their 2025/26 U20 Elite League campaign with games against the Czech Republic and Poland. Following big wins over Romania and Italy to end 2025 on a high note, Hannes Wolf’s side will host the Czech Republic at the Berlin Poststadion on Wednesday.

The defending champions are currently in second place in the competition as Portugal hold a healthy four-point lead with back-to-back wins over Germany during the October international break. The Czech Republic only have four points from five games in the eighth edition of the U20 Elite League.

Former Borussia Dortmund prospect Paris Brunner leads the scoring chart with eight goals. However, the Monaco attacker is not part of the squad for the final two games. Meanwhile, Noah Darvich and Max Moerstedt are included once again after playing key roles in the previous six matches.

Here are the full list of the 22-man squad selected by Wolf for the games against the Czech Republic and Poland.
