It is the first Women's World Cup on German soil since 1998 – it will be an unforgettable sporting highlight.

Germany in the spotlight

Following its recent successes, the German women's national team is generating enthusiasm and visibility: Olympic qualification for 2024, Olympic gold in 3x3, and a historic 5th place at the Women's EuroBasket 2025 have catapulted the team into the international spotlight. And now the next step is to be taken on home turf. Along with the host, Belgium, the USA, Nigeria, and Australia have already qualified for the tournament. In March 2026, the last eleven tickets for the tournament will be decided in a thrilling qualifying tournament.

For Germany, the focus will be on the Sabally sisters, Leonie Fiebich, Luisa Geiselsöder, and shooting star Frieda Bühner, among others—players who not only shape the game but also inspire entire generations.
