Adidas - Tyskland 2006 Hjemmebanetrøje 'NAME'

This Germany 2006 home shirt was made by adidas and features Bastian Schweinsteiger’s #7 nameset together with 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany sleeve detailing. Worn as Germany hosted the tournament, the shirt is closely associated with the memorable "Sommermärchen" campaign that saw a young German side reach the semi-finals and ultimately finish third. 

Under Jürgen Klinsmann, Germany produced one of the tournament’s most memorable campaigns. They won all three group matches before eliminating Sweden 2–0 in the Round of 16 and Argentina on penalties in the quarter-finals. Their run towards a home final ended dramatically against eventual champions Italy, who scored twice in the closing minutes of extra time in Dortmund. Germany responded by beating Portugal 3–1 in the third-place match in Stuttgart.

Schweinsteiger was only 21 during the tournament and formed part of an emerging generation alongside players such as Philipp Lahm and Lukas Podolski, supported by established figures including Michael Ballack and Miroslav Klose. His defining performance came in the third-place match against Portugal, when he scored two spectacular long-range goals and also delivered the shot that Petit turned into his own net. Germany won 3–1, making Schweinsteiger one of the standout players of the tournament’s final weekend.

For collectors, the combination of Schweinsteiger #7, World Cup sleeve detailing and the iconic adidas Teamgeist design gives this shirt a particularly strong connection to Germany 2006. It captures Schweinsteiger at the beginning of an international career that would eventually culminate in Germany’s 2014 World Cup triumph, while the shirt itself remains one of the defining designs of the 2006 tournament.
