The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to be held in Qatar and Germany, with St. Pauli FC as one of the teams that have been invited to represent their country at the tournament. However, there has been controversy surrounding this decision, with some arguing that it was unfair to exclude St. Pauli from the competition due to their history of poor performances.

In contrast, Hertha Berlin, another German club, were also invited to participate in the 2026 World Cup. While Hertha may not have had as much success in previous editions of the tournament, they still managed to win the Champions League in 2018, which is a testament to their talent and dedication.

Despite the differences in the two clubs' histories, both teams have shown great potential and have a chance to make a significant impact on the tournament. The key to their success will likely depend on how they perform during the competition, but both clubs have the potential to compete at the highest level and bring excitement and passion to the world stage.
