Yesterday evening, the national team returned to home turf after an exciting European Championship summer and played their first match in the Merkur-Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf against Hungary. Since the end of the European Championship, we have had to say goodbye to some football legends: Toni Kroos, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller and Ilkay Gündoğan were no longer in the squad. But the new start was more than successful! The German national team deservedly won their first match after the European Championships 5:0 in front of 49,235 fans in the sold-out arena, showing pure enthusiasm and taking the euphoria of the last few months onto the pitch. Especially in the second half, there was no stopping the team under new captain Joshua Kimmich with the brilliantly harmonising young stars Musiala and Wirtz. For national coach Julian Nagelsmann, it was the biggest win of his DFB tenure. Five goals and plenty of joy – that definitely whets the appetite for more! We at APA once again had the opportunity to create the perfect setting for spectators and TV with the right branding and signage, and are already looking forward to our boys’ next home games.
