On June 23rd, according to German sports magazine Kicker, each member of the German team will be rewarded with €50,000 if they finish first in their group.
As reported by the media, Germany’s head coach Julian Nagelsmann stated, “We are the German team, and we must aim for victory! When you win game after game, you gain immense confidence.”
For the German players, securing the top spot in their group is not just a matter of pride but also comes with a financial reward of €50,000 per player. A single draw would be enough for them to guarantee first place.
It’s worth noting that the last time the German team received this bonus was seven years ago… during the FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia, where each player also received €50,000.
