Germany Cup 2025: DEB team starts with top-class players in Landshut!
There is great anticipation for the 2025 Germany Cup, which will be held in Landshut from November 5th to 9th. The German men's national team, under the leadership of national coach Harold Kreis, will have to show itself in impressive form again this year. The squad includes 25 players, including three goalkeepers, eight defenders and 14 strikers. 18 of the selected players have already gained international experience by taking part in world championships, which should give the team a certain routine.
In particular, the most experienced players such as Moritz Müller with 212 international matches, Yasin Ehliz (118) and Dominik Kahun (109) could provide decisive impetus on the ice. The national team will arrive in Landshut on November 4th to prepare intensively for the upcoming matches against Latvia, Austria and Slovakia. Beyond the history of the Germany Cup, which brought second place for the DEB selection last year, this is also the last important measure before the upcoming Olympic Games.
Joint preparation for the Olympics
The Germany Cup 2025 goes hand in hand with the preparations for the Olympic ice hockey tournament in Milan, which will begin at the end of January 2025. Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod also has his say, who underlines the importance of the event for the preparation of his team. However, some players are unable to take part due to injuries, which brings with it both dances and challenges. Christian Künast, DEB's sports director, emphasizes how important it is for the two senior national teams to appear together.
It is important to know that this year the tournament will be held solely for men, as the women are preparing for the World Cup in November 2026. There is good news for fans: all Germany Cup games will be broadcast live and free of charge on MagentaSport. This way everyone can get their own idea of the troops' performance.
With a strong combination of experienced and new talent, the German team has the chance to do brilliantly at the 2025 Deutschland Cup. The pressure is high, not only to win the title, but also to increase confidence in your own abilities before the Olympics are just around the corner.
