Tom Kaulitz surprises at Kimmich press conference
German musician and Heidi Klum's husband, Tom Kaulitz (36), unexpectedly appeared at DFB captain Joshua Kimmich's (31) press conference. Kaulitz, who is working as a fan expert for MagentaTV at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, sat quietly in the audience wearing a Germany T-shirt with "Germany" and "Tom 26" printed on it.
What is Kaulitz doing at the World Cup?
Kaulitz is in his new role as a fan expert, giving viewers behind-the-scenes insights. At Germany's opening match against Curaçao, he was even allowed into the national team's dressing room. "I'm standing in the holy rooms. I've been in many backstage areas, but this is really special," he said excitedly.
Kimmich remains exemplary
Despite the training-free day, Kimmich took almost 40 minutes to answer journalists' questions. The German team enters the World Cup in good form: After the 1-1 draw against Paraguay (29.06.2026) and the current run of three wins, one draw and one loss (DLWWW), morale in the team is high.
Next match against the Netherlands
Germany's next match is away against the Netherlands on 24 September 2026. The team remains optimistic and focused on preparing for this important game.
