[ 17 ] [ 18 ] between 1899 and 1901, anterior to the formation of a national team, there were five unofficial external matches between German and English selection teams, which all ended as big defeats for the german teams. Eight years after the establishment of the German Football Association ( DFB ), the first base official match of the Germany national football team [ 19 ] was played on 5 April 1908, against Switzerland in Basel, with the swiss fetching 5–3.
