Offered here is the official match program from the June 23, 1954 FIFA World Cup Group 2 Decider played at Stadion Hardturm in Zürich, Switzerland — the match in which West Germany defeated Turkey 7-2 to advance to the quarterfinals, a result that set Germany on the path to their historic "Miracle of Bern" championship.
The program shares the tournament's distinctive cover design: a stylized goalkeeper diving for a ball against a blue background with "Coupe Jules Rimet" printed on the football, and "Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft 1954, 16. Juni – 4. Juli / Offizielles Programm / Programme Officiel" running vertically along the left spine. Interior pages are printed in German and include the official match day content: the Deutschland vs. Türkei match heading listing the June 23 kickoff at 18:00 Uhr at Stadion Hardturm Zürich; federation profiles and team colors for both nations; the full Spieltableau tournament bracket; player photographs of the Turkish squad; historical World Championship records; period advertisements including Ovomaltine and KLM; a team photo showing the German squad; and comparative recent international results for both nations.
The center spread features the distinctive illustrated team lineup format surrounded by the Ovomaltine festive crowd illustration. The program shows light toning and age-consistent wear and presents in solid collectible condition.
