Neuer Back as Germany's No. 1 for 2026 World Cup at 40
Germany recalled 40-year-old Manuel Neuer from international retirement to be their first-choice goalkeeper for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, with Julian Nagelsmann confirming him as the number one. Neuer, a 124-cap veteran who helped Germany win the 2014 World Cup, leads a squad that includes several Premier League players as Germany aim to advance beyond recent group-stage exits and open their campaign vs Curacao in Group E.
