Germany are coached by Julian Nagelsmann, while Curaçao are led by Dick Advocaat. Both managers have shaped distinct identities for their squads in the build-up to North America 2026.
In Group E, only the top two teams advance directly to the round of 32, with the third-placed team competing for one of the eight best third-place spots across all 12 groups. A result here can shape the group quickly because the expanded format leaves less recovery margin than a simple top-two table.
