EDF: Didier Deschamps confirms Mbappé's return in March

The France team can validate its qualification for the 2026 World Cup on Monday evening in Reykjavik. After their 3-0 success against Azerbaijan on Friday, the Blues remain undefeated in Group D with three victories in as many matches. To get their ticket directly, they will have to beat Iceland and hope that Ukraine does not win against Azerbaijan.

With seven points ahead of their pursuer, a victory combined with a favorable result for Ukraine would guarantee Didier Deschamps' men first place in the group and therefore direct qualification for the World Cup organized in the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
