Mesut Ozil, the former German international midfielder, is reportedly in discussions to represent Germany at the upcoming over-35s World Cup, slated to be hosted by England over the summer. The eight-team tournament, known as the EPG Cup and organized by the Elite Players Group, will feature marquee names like Steve McManaman, Thierry Henry, and Ronaldinho.
According to sources, Ozil, who retired from international football after the 2018 World Cup, could make a comeback alongside fellow World Cup winner Sami Khedira. Despite previous controversies and his retirement amidst accusations of racism against the German FA, Ozil is being considered for the provisional squad.
Kevin Kuranyi, the captain of Germany, expressed optimism about Ozil’s potential return, acknowledging the challenges given the political and media scrutiny surrounding the player. Ozil’s international career spanned 92 caps and included 23 goals, notably contributing to Germany’s 2014 World Cup victory. With his club career winding down after stints with Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Fenerbahce, Ozil’s potential comeback could mark a significant chapter in his football journey.
