In addition to knowing its next opponents, namely Senegal, Norway and the winner of the FIFA 2 play-off (Bolivia, Suriname or Iraq), the French team knows its schedule for the 2026 World Cup. The Blues benefited from an advantage by inheriting Group I, because all the matches will take place on the east coast of North America. A positive point for Didier Deschamps.
“This is the advantage of this group I, to have times which will remain almost unchanged for us, namely 3 p.m., which corresponds to prime time (9 p.m.) in France. Freshness and physical appearance will be very important. It’s not so much the schedule itself, it’s more the temperatures and humidity, with the repetition of matches and a competition that is long with recovery times that can be shorter. Freshness and physical appearance will be the most important”he assured via RMC Sport. As a reminder, the Blues will play against Senegal (June 16) and Norway (June 26) at 9 p.m., France time. The poster against the winner of the intercontinental play-off (June 22) will be played at 11 p.m. French time).
