France-Brazil, it's soon!

The 23e World Cup in history is already tomorrow. The United States, Mexico and Canada will then host the high mass of football. An event in which the Blues should participate, well off in their continental qualifying group at the expense of Iceland, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. To be confirmed next month.

Once assured of playing in the competition, Didier Deschamps' men will be able to concretely consider preparation for this 2026 World Cup. With meetings to be planned during the pivotal months of March and June. However, there are reunions already scheduled, just suspended from the elimination results of the Tricolores.

See you in March 2026

According to observations from TNT Sports Brazil, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has already validated in a pre-contractual agreement two matches for the Seleçao in March 2026: two gala matches in Europe against the two finalists of the 2018 World Cup: France and Croatia.

France-Brazil, a poster which obviously brings back good memories to the French public and its national team. The shock of the 1998 World Cup final, but also the unforgettable quarter-final of the 2006 World Cup. The Auriverde nation, however, remains on two successes against the Blues in a friendly: 3-0 in June 2013 in Porto Alegre and 1-3 in June 2015 at the Stade de France.
