Baden-Württembergs EM-Triumphe: Heimspiel-Siege und Nationalspieler

Baden-Württemberg’s Superstars Shine Bright in EM 2024

Germany has kicked off the UEFA European Championship in style with two impressive victories. The DFB team secured a commanding 5-1 win against Scotland and a solid 2-0 victory over Hungary in Stuttgart, showcasing their ambitions for the coveted title. However, the spotlight shone particularly on the players hailing from Baden-Württemberg, who had the chance to excel in front of their local fans.

EM Matches in Stuttgart – Musiala’s Homecoming

Oliver Baumann, Joshua Kimmich, Nico Schlotterbeck, Pascal Groß, and Jamal Musiala are the five DFB players from Baden-Württemberg. The tournament held special significance for Jamal Musiala, the talented young forward from FC Bayern Munich. Musiala made a triumphant return to his birth city of Stuttgart during the championship. He delivered a stellar performance in front of his home crowd during the 2-0 victory against Hungary. The match also held sentimental value for Nico Schlotterbeck and Joshua Kimmich, both hailing from Waiblingen and Rottweil, respectively.

The support from local fans provided an extra boost to these players, who were just a stone’s throw away from their hometowns.

A Home Away from Home for VfB Stars – TSG Hoffenheim Represented Well

For VfB Stuttgart’s players Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Chris Führich, and Deniz Undav, the match in Stuttgart was a standout moment. Despite not being from Baden-Württemberg originally, they felt right at home in the MHPArena. The familiar surroundings and fan support contributed to the German team’s successful performance. Maximilian Beier from TSG Hoffenheim also surely had a memorable experience in Stuttgart.

Baden-Württemberg’s Contribution to Germany’s EM 2024 Squad

Oliver Baumann and Pascal Groß hail from Breisach am Rhein and Mannheim, respectively, further solidifying Baden-Württemberg’s strong presence in the German National Team. Players from different regions of the state add diversity and strength to the squad. Whether from Stuttgart, Breisgau, or Kurpfalz, Baden-Württemberg boasts some of the country’s most talented footballers.

Five States Without Representation in the EM 2024 Squad

Schleswig-Holstein, despite having Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, does not have any players in the national team. Similarly, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Saarland are also unrepresented in the DFB squad.

The UEFA European Championship 2024 highlights the significance of hometown support and its positive impact on players. Baden-Württemberg can take pride in its representatives in the DFB team, who have been instrumental in the team’s success so far.
