Hamburg - Germany will play Malta in Aachen in a friendly international shortly before the World Cup next year in South Africa, the national football federation DFB confirmed Thursday.
Two more friendlies are being lined up - one at home and the other away, DFB general secretary Wolfgang Niersbach said.
The Germany squad will go into a training camp in Switzerland or Austria before the World Cup. It has not yet been decided whether to play against Malta before or after the camp, Niersbach said.
Coach Joachim Loew will on Friday name his squad for friendlies against Chile in Cologne on November 14 and Ivory Coast in Gelsenkirchen four days later.
A further friendly follows in Munich against Argentina in March before Loew names his squad for the World Cup finals in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
