Emmanuel Macron will be present at the castle. Indeed, before the French team leaves France and competes in the 2026 World Cup, the President of the Republic will visit the Blues in Clairefontaine. The date was expected, since Didier Deschamps’ men will leave on June 10 as announced by the Élysée in RMC Sportand this has just been fixed: it will be June 2.
Regularly present at football events, the Head of State has always been close to the Blues and this connection was notably visible during the final victory in 2018, against Croatia. If emotions are even stronger this year, it is especially since Didier Deschamps will leave his post at the end of the tournament and this will be the last major sporting event under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.
