Germany's reputation as a global football powerhouse may have taken another hit with the women's team crashing out of the World Cup but this will not affect euphoria for the men's Euro 2024 on home soil, said German FA (DFB) president Bernd Neuendorf.
The Germans drew 1-1 with South Korea on Thursday, ending up third in their group at the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
Germany, winners of the title in 2003 and 2007, had never gone out earlier than the quarter-finals in their eight previous appearances at the tournament, leaving millions of fans at home stunned.
Their shock exit comes just eight months after the men's team suffered a second consecutive World Cup group stage elimination with a disastrous run in Qatar.
