Since the Germany national football team
's first official match in 1908, it has been one of the most successful national teams in world football, having participated in seventeen World Cup
s and ten European Championships and won three of each. In doing so, twenty of its players have won both titles, and five have won gold, silver and bronze medals at the World Cup. Lothar Matthäus
has played in a record
25 World Cup matches, and his participation in five World Cup tournaments is a joint record
, shared with Antonio Carbajal
of Mexico
. Miroslav Klose
and Gerd Müller
are the joint second-highest goalscorers
in the tournament's history with 14 goals each, and Franz Beckenbauer
is one of only two men to win the World Cup as a player and as a coach.
Matthäus was the inaugural winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year
award in 1991, and is one of five Germany players to have been awarded European Footballer of the Year; two of which, Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
, have each won the award twice. Beckenbauer was also voted in eighth place for the FIFA Player of the Century
award, and was selected for the World Team of the 20th Century

, a list of the 125 greatest living footballers chosen by former footballer Pelé

squad. After World War II

(1950–1956) and East Germany
(1952–1990). During this period, the team was commonly known as West Germany until the country's reunification
in 1990, when the East German team was reintegrated into the German national team.
