The France team will soon meet again for what will be Zinedine Zidane’s second rally. The coach must announce his next list next Thursday (November 5) in view of the last two Nations League matches (in Italy on November 12 and in Bordeaux against Turkey on November 15). First in their group with 10 points, the Blues are on track to reach the quarter-finals. In the event of qualification, the FFF will apply to organize the Final Four of the competition scheduled for June 2027, reveals Philippe Diallo to West France.
For this, the French team must be present in the last four. Without this, no application is possible. Another criterion is that the Blues’ opponent in the quarter-finals must also be able to want to host the Final Four. The winner will only have to be awarded the organization by UEFA. The choice will be made on December 6 during a Comex meeting. France has already targeted the two host cities. This would be Lyon, which would host the potential semi-final of the Tricolores and the final, and Saint-Étienne for the other semi-final, as well as the small final. UEFA requires that the two stadiums be a maximum of 150 km apart. The Parc des Princes-Stade de France duo was ruled out due to their unavailability between June 9 and 13, 2027.
