MUNICH, Germany (Sporting Alert) —— Teenage wonder-kid Youssoufa Moukoko and 2014 hero Mario Gotze, have been named to the Germany squad for the Qatar World Cup 2022 which will take place from Sunday, Nov 20 through Sunday, Dec 18, 2022.
Moukoko, 17, has been in good form for Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks and although his call-up was a bit of a surprise to several football fans, those who have been following him in the last couple of seasons were not shocked by his inclusion.
Moukoko, who has represented Germany at several age groups, including the Under-20 and Under-21 levels, is widely regarded as one of the shining lights among European talents and I can’t wait to see what he will do at the Qatar World Cup 2022.
