On 9 May 2002, Rahn made his Germany debut in a 7–0 friendly victory in preparation for the 2002 FIFA World Cup against Kuwait.[4] Five days later he was not used for a 0–1 defeat in Cardiff against Wales and one day later Rudi Völler announced that Rahn would not participate in the World Cup. On 31 March 2004, Rahn was called up again for the national team for a 3–0 victory in Cologne against Belgium when he replaced Michael Ballack in the 84th minute. Rahn was initially named in Völler's UEFA Euro 2004 squad,[5] but had to withdraw through injury and was replaced by Christian Ziege.[6]
