On 18 April 1897, an early international game on German soil was played in Hamburg when a selection team from the Danish Football Association defeated a selection team from the Hamburg-Altona Football Association, 5–0.[2][3]

On 12 December 1898, a German national selection traveled to Paris to play two friendlies against French teams, beating The White Rovers 7–0, and on the following day, 13 December, they claimed a 2–1 victory over a selection of the best Parisian players from the USFSA.[4] [5] This was the first-ever version of a Germany national selection, even though it was drawn almost exclusively from Berlin clubs, such as BFC Germania 1888, Berliner SV 1892, Viktoria Berlin, and Fortuna Berlin.[4][6]
