German football

Bayern Munich's game

German football refers to association football (soccer) as played in Germany, particularly the Bundesliga—Germany's top professional league—and the German national team.

The term distinguishes the sport and its German style of play from American football: German football emphasizes tactical discipline and physical conditioning.

Germany has won four FIFA World Cups, making it one of the sport's dominant nations.
