List of Germany international footballers born outside Germany

Last updated

This is a list of the players who played for Germany national football team and who were born outside the current borders of Germany. This list includes former West Germany national football team players. It also includes players born in presently non-German territories even if they were controlled by Germany when they were born regardless of the means by which those lands had come under German administration - this list therefore includes players born in the historical eastern territories of Germany, militarily-occupied territories, territories annexed by the Nazis and German overseas colonies. However, it does not include players who played only for the former East Germany or Saarland national football teams, nor does it include any Germany/West Germany international footballers born in East Germany, Saarland or West Berlin prior to those lands' absorption by the modern Federal Republic of Germany.

VfB Stuttgart debuted in the modern-era 32-team Champions League with a progression from the group stage and a somewhat surprising victory with 2–1 against English champions Manchester United. Ultimately, the tournament ended with a narrow defeat to Chelsea. Kevin Kurányi, Philipp Lahm and Alexander Hleb were key players in a side that only just failed to finish in the top three for the second season in succession. Following an initial eight clean sheets, the attack suffered from only Kurányi being able to score, despite goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand keeping 18 clean sheets.
