Germany national football team results (1990–1999)

Last updated April 26, 2024

This is a list of international football matches of the Germany national football team between 1990 and 1999.

Following the reunification of Germany, the best players from the former East were added to a squad which were already reigning World champions of 1990. The unified German team reached the final of UEFA Euro 1992 only to surprisingly lose to Denmark, but then won the 1996 tournament in England. At the World Cup, Germany failed to maintain their own high standards (having been involved in the previous three finals), being eliminated in the quarter-final stage at both the 1994 and 1998 editions.

Football is the most popular sport in Germany. The German Football Association is the sport's national governing body, with 6.6 million members organized in over 31,000 football clubs. There is a league system, with the Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga on top. The winner of the Bundesliga is crowned the German football champion. Additionally, there are national cup competitions, most notably the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup.

The qualifying competition for UEFA Euro 1992 was a series of parallel association football competitions to be held over 1990 and 1991 to decide the qualifiers for UEFA Euro 1992, to be held in Sweden. The draw for the qualifying rounds was held on 2 February 1990.

Joachim "Jogi" Löw is a German football coach and former player. He was the manager of the Germany national team from 2006 until 2021. During his tenure as manager, he led Germany to victory at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. In March 2021, Löw announced that he would resign from his position after the delayed Euro 2020. Of all head coaches of the German national football team, Löw has managed and won the most matches (189/120).

The 1990 FIFA World Cup final was a football match played between West Germany and Argentina to determine the winner of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. The game took place on 8 July 1990 at the Stadio Olimpico in Italy's capital and largest city, Rome, and was won 1–0 by West Germany, with a late penalty kick taken by Andreas Brehme being the game's only goal.

Group 5 of the UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying tournament was played as four team group consisting of Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Wales.

The UEFA Euro 1996 Final was the final match of Euro 1996, the tenth European Football Championship, UEFA's top football competition for national teams. The match was played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 30 June 1996 and was contested by the Czech Republic and Germany. Both sides were drawn in UEFA Euro 1996 Group C alongside Italy and Russia. Germany won the group and defeated Croatia in the quarter-finals before progressing to the final with a victory over England in the semi-final after a penalty shoot-out. The Czech Republic finished the group stage as runners-up to Germany. They beat Portugal in the quarter-finals before overcoming France in the semi-finals following a penalty shoot-out.

The Germany national football team has represented Germany in men's international football since 1908. The team is governed by the German Football Association, founded in 1900. Ever since the DFB was reinaugurated in 1949 the team has represented the Federal Republic of Germany. Under Allied occupation and division, two other separate national teams were also recognised by FIFA: the Saarland team representing the Saarland (1950–1956) and the East German team representing the German Democratic Republic (1952–1990). Both have been absorbed along with their records by the current national team. The official name and code "Germany FR (FRG)" was shortened to "Germany (GER)" following the reunification in 1990.

The history of the Germany national football team began in 1908, when Germany played its first international match. Since then, the Germany national football team has been one of the most successful football teams, winning four World Cups and three European Championships.

This is a list of international football matches of the Germany national football team during its period as West Germany from 1950 until 1990.

This summarises various goal statistics of the Germany national football team.
