Members of the German women’s national soccer team appear on the cover and within the pages of this month’s German version of Playboy, a NSFW spread that was just published in advance of the three-week World Cup tournament set to begin in Berlin on June 26. The women who appear are not first-team members of the German team, which are the defending World Cup champions.
Nina van Splunter of German Playboy, said: “For us, this makes a lot of sense.
“Everyone knows how popular football is in Germany and, just like their male counterparts, the female team are very successful.

Van Splunter added: ‘We have only just published, so we’re waiting to hear comments.”
Since it’s not being published in the puritanical United States, the comments will probably be restrained.
