National team

He made his debut in the senior national team on May 5, 1912 in St. Gallen in a 2-1 victory over Switzerland . He played his second international match in the 1912 Olympic football tournament in Stockholm. In the first game against the Austrian team , he experienced the blackest moment of his athletic career: after a collision with a post and an opponent, he conceded two goals within a very short time, and a little later, after a heat stroke, he was carried unconscious from the field. Since the substitution of players in official games was only introduced in 1970, Willy Worpitzky, a field player, had to enter the goal and the German team had to end the game with 10 players. In the end, the German 1-0 lead turned into a 1-5 defeat. In the highest victory of a German senior national team to date, the 16-0 victory over the selection of Russia in the consolation round, in which all seven teams eliminated in the eighth and quarter-finals of the main tournament, Adolf Werner from the SC took part on July 1, 1912 Victoria Hamburg in the gate. Weber only came to his next and last international match on October 6th of the same year, which was lost 3-1 to Denmark in Copenhagen .
