FIFA WC 2026: Neuer Reverses Retirement Decision As Germany Names Provisional Squad
FIFA World Cup: Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has come out of his international football retirement as Germany announced their provisional 26-member squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 to be played in Mexico, America, and Canada from June 11.
The 40-year-old Bayern Munich goalkeeper, who had stepped away from international football following UEFA Euro 2024, is set to lead Germany’s challenge as the country’s first-choice goalkeeper. The tournament will mark Neuer’s fifth FIFA World Cup appearance and adds another chapter to one of the most decorated international careers in modern football.
Neuer was a key figure in Germany’s 2014 FIFA World Cup triumph in Brazil, where the team defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final to secure their fourth world title. Widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation, Neuer has been instrumental in redefining the modern “sweeper-keeper” role during his international and club career.
