Einigkeit und Recht und Vielfalt (ARD/WDR)

Einigkeit und Recht und Vielfalt I Philipp Awounou I 46′ I 2024

What role can a diverse German national team play in the country of immigration that is Germany? How has the DFB eleven changed since the 1990s? And who feels represented by it? With Jonathan Tah, Shkodran Mustafi, and Gerald Asamoah, three current and former national players talk about the DFB team as a social phenomenon and an object of identification. They speak about racism and hostility but also about how football can contribute to integration. And about the pride of wearing the DFB jersey, even if, shortly before EURO 2024 on home soil, not everyone in Germany identifies with a multicultural team.
