The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is viewed critically by a significant part of the German population – this is also shown by the latest ratings for the last friendly before the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
On Wednesday evening, an average of only 4.26 million people wanted to see the tired test match against Oman (1-0) in front of the TV.
A comparatively very disappointing value in view of previous ratings …
In addition to the ratings, RTL also stated that the market share was only 19.3 percent. 7.58 million people watched the last international match broadcast by RTL – around 3.3 million more than on Wednesday. However, the opponent there was also called England. The game was a Nations League game and therefore had more of a competitive nature.
In addition, England is a much more attractive opponent than Oman. In addition, the kick-off time of 6 p.m. was relatively early. The Nations League games were usually kicked off at 8.45 p.m., so they ran at a much better TV time.

However, it is possible that Germany’s poor performance also led to many quickly switching off or switching back on the television. In addition, there are repeated calls on social media to boycott the 2022 World Cup. This could also have had an impact on TV ratings. Loud fan chants could also be heard on TV, which could have disturbed some viewers.

One thing is clear: Both the German national team as well as the viewer ratings still have a lot of room for improvement.
Germany struggled to win a 1-0 friendly against Oman on Wednesday. BVB youngster Youssoufa Moukoko (17) and Werder striker Niclas Füllkrug (29) made their international debuts. Füllkrug redeemed the German team with his goal to make it 1-0 in the 80th minute.
Previously, Germany was struggling and could have fallen behind several times. Before the start of the World Cup against Japan (Wednesday, 2 p.m.), the team of national coach Hansi Flick still has to improve significantly.
