As a player, Kahn earned 86 caps for Germany, 49 of those in which he was captain, helping guide his country to the 1996 Euro title and the 2002 World Cup final, where he won the Golden Ball for being named the player of the tournament.

For Bayern, he won eight Bundesliga titles and the 2001 Champions League over a 14-year career where he made 632 appearances.
