Elias Newel’s impressive campaign with Frisch Auf Göppingen has firmly placed him on the radar of Germany’s national team selectors. The 21-year-old midfielder, who dominated the 2025-26 Bundesliga 2 season, was crowned the league’s best young player—a testament to his vision, passing range, and ability to dictate play. Now, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification cycle in full swing, questions are mounting about whether Newel could earn a call-up under head coach Alfred Gislason, who has long emphasized the importance of nurturing homegrown talent for the senior side’s long-term success.
