DFB registers 7 million players

BASKING in international glory, the German football federation, or DFB, said yesterday that the number of players registered in the country had broken through the seven-million mark.

The federation said 7,043,964 men and women were registered members, an increase of 74,500 from the same time last year.

The growth, in a country of almost 83 million people, is largely attributed to the success of Germany’s international teams.

The men’s team is the World Cup champion and has just won the Confederations Cup in Russia, while the Under-21 side was crowned European champion last Friday. The German women’s team are Olympic and European champions.
