Merkel said,

“Because of the parliamentary week, I will not be able to attend the match in Kazan. I hoped Germany would qualify for the knockout stage.”

On June 10, Merkel said that she was not ruling out a possible trip to the World Cup in Russia if her schedule permits.

Defending champions Germany are currently second in their group behind Mexico, who will play third-placed Sweden in the other Group F match on Wednesday.
