Germany's disappointing World Cup run has financial repercussions, with the DFB projecting a deficit of €9.4 million. This comes after the team's exit in the round of 32, which contributes to the financial loss. DFB treasurer Stephan Grunwald stated the organization had planned conservatively, with bonuses only for later tournament stages. The budget does not factor in severance payments for coach Julian Nagelsmann, who departed after a contract extension. Further assessments will clarify financial impacts post-summer break.
