Felix Namecha scored the first goal for the DFB team at WC 2026 and became the center of attention. Namecha said that he is not too concerned with the popularity so that he can focus on his game. "I am grateful for all the kind words, it motivates me to improve more," he said. Namecha also stated that he knows how good a player he is and believes in himself. "I have great faith in myself and in what Guru has given me," he said.
Namecha said that he has learned a lot in working against the ball. In the German WM-cadre, he is good friends with Malik Thiev, but the team's favorite player is Asan Oyedrogo, whom Namecha called "absolutely clear". "Everyone loves Asan. He is a very good player and a very good man." The 20-year-old Leipzig player was added to the squad following an injury to Lennart Karl.
