National team coach Marc Meister has called up a total of eight players from Berlin for the upcoming U16 DFB national team training camp. The camp will take place in Oberhaching from August 17 to 20, 2026.

In addition to goalkeeper Luis Greil, Malte Brumm, Joel Liebke (all from Hertha BSC), and Jonas Tscheschlog (1. FC Union)—who were essentially regulars in the U15 international matches against the Netherlands in May—other players have qualified through outstanding performances at the DFB scouting tournament in May, where they secured a strong second-place finish for Berlin out of 22 teams. Marwin Hoffmann, Adel Mustafi (both 1. FC Union), Amin Saidi (Hertha BSC), and Nathan Knoll (Stern 1900) are the other players selected. Above all, the selection of Nathan Knoll—who “only” plays in the Landesliga for Stern 1900—is nothing short of a sensation. Association sports instructor and selection coach Rudy Raab is proud of the call-ups:

“We’re very pleased with the number of invitations. A third of the camp participants are from Berlin. Our youth development centers are doing excellent work here. It’s great that, with the Berlin selection team, we can provide the players with a platform for further development and visibility. The selection of Nathan Knoll from Stern 1900 proves that players outside the youth development centers are not being overlooked.”

The Berlin Soccer Association congratulates the players on their selections and wishes them every success at the upcoming training camp!
