Florian Wirtz has earned 16 full international caps to date. The Leverkusen player made his debut for Germany in September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein (2-0). After three more appearances, Wirtz suffered a torn cruciate early on in 2022 that meant he did not play in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Since the start of 2023, the 21-year-old has been called up for every international break and he has played in all but one of 13 international fixtures. He scored his first goal for his country after eight seconds in the 2-0 victory against France – the fastest goal ever for Germany.
Wirtz joins Werkself teammates Jonathan Tah and Robert Andrich for the tournament in Germany. The DFB will announce the full squad for Euro 2024 on Thursday afternoon.
A group of about 50 members of the Bayer 04 Football Academy São Paulo visited Leverkusen over the past few days, accompanied by Bayer 04 club legend Paulo Sergio and Luiz Felipe (managing director of academy in São Paulo) for a week full of football, encounters and very special insights. In addition to the Bundesliga away game in Elversberg and the home game against Union Berlin, the visit also featured a joint training session with the Bayer 04 Football Academy in Leverkusen and a tour of the Bayer AG facilities. The guests also gained special insights into the club and the world of Bayer 04.

“Diaby! Diaby! Diaby!” was the cry around the BayArena as the Werkself danced in front of the north stand following their 4-0 win over Union Berlin. Captain Edmond Tapsoba gave his new (and old) teammate a friendly shove forward to take in the acclaim from the fans. The returning Frenchman was typically reserved in thanking the supporters but was clearly emotional about what was happening.
