Manuel Neuer confirms that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be his last tournament with the Germany men’s national team and that he will retire from international football afterward. Multiple reports say Neuer had previously announced a retirement from national duty in 2024, but he reversed that decision and returned to the squad ahead of the World Cup. Yahoo Sports reports he views the World Cup as “certain” to be his final tournament, while Soccer News says he has confirmed he will not continue beyond the event. Times of India adds that the decision is linked to the physical and mental strain of playing for the national team, along with broader reflections on the commitment required for international football. Times of India also notes that Neuer’s return follows strong form at club level and that his selection is discussed amid early debates. Across the coverage, there is agreement that Neuer—Germany’s 2014 World Cup-winning goalkeeper—will end his international career following the conclusion of World Cup 2026.
