This evening, the France team faces Norway to hope to finish in first place in Group I. The Blues will then find out their future opponent in the round of 16. For this evening’s match, Kylian Mbappé’s teammates wanted to wear a black armband, following the death of Didier Deschamps’ mother.

Unfortunately for them, RMC Sport announces that FIFA has finally decided to refuse the wearing of the armband. The governing body of this 2026 World Cup, on the other hand, accepted that a minute of silence be observed before the start of the match, but in tribute to the people who died during the earthquake in Venezuela.
