Muscat: On Wednesday, soccer fans in Oman will be in full force, even if the Sultanate's national team did not manage to qualify for the World Cup 2022 and even before the first game is played.
As part of the preparations for the World Cup in Doha, the German National Team will play a friendly match on November 16 at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Bausher. It may be noted that the German team has won the World Cup four times, including in 2014.

In the final of 2014, Germany defeated Argentina 1–0 after extra time to win the tournament and secure the country's fourth world title, the first after German reunification in 1990, when West Germany beat Argentina by the same score in 90 minutes in the World Cup final.
Germany became the first European team to win a World Cup staged in the Americas and that result marked the third consecutive title won by a European team, after Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010.
