If all goes as planned, the French team will have a very busy year in 2024. The Blues will play the Euro but also the Olympic Games at home.
The Blues of Didier Deschamps intend to validate their presence as soon as possible for Euro 2024 which will take place in Germany. To do this, the France team will have to beat Gibraltar and Greece on June 16 and 19. In addition to the Euro, which will remain the most important competition to win, France will also be present at the Paris Olympic Games. An event that some players do not want to miss, like Kylian Mbappé for example. But for others, the Olympics are far from being a priority, especially for those who have already played them. This is the case of Randal Kolo Muani.

This Wednesday morning at a press conference, the 24-year-old striker indeed indicated that he did not aim to take part in the Paris Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The former Nantais clarified that he had already participated in the 2021 Olympic tournament in Tokyo. Tournament which had gone very badly with an elimination from the pools. “I don’t think it’s in the back of my mind. I already did it two years ago, so I don’t think I’ll do it again in a year”, declared Kolo Muani, who will have no trouble giving way to Kylian Mbappé. The Olympics are an important goal in the career of the 2018 world champion. “ Everyone knows that I have always dreamed of playing in the Olympic Games. Afterwards, it does not depend on me, there are a lot of parameters that come into account, There is a club too, there is a national team, because there is a Euro before, so we have to discuss … “, recalled Mbappé in recent months. As a reminder, to participate in the Olympics, the players of the France team must be 23 years old at the time of the competition and will be trained by Sylvain Ripoll, coach of the Espoirs. However, three exceptions are allowed.
