The Germany national football team (German: Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft) is the football team that has represented Germany in international competition since 1908.[2] It is governed by the German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund), founded in 1900.[6][7] From 1950 to 1990, it was essentially the team of West Germany,[8] as the DFB is based in Frankfurt, located in the former West Germany. Under Allied occupation and division, two other separate national teams were also recognized by FIFA: the Saarland team (1950–1956) and the East German team(1952–1990). Both have been absorbed along with their records[9][10] by the current national team. The official name and code "Germany FR (FRG)" was shortened to "Germany (GER)" in 1990.
