Despite its top seed status, the France team is not safe from a tough group for the first round of Euro 2024.
After a qualifying campaign which looked like a long, quiet river, the French team can already look forward to Euro 2024. The French selection validated its ticket a month ago. On December 2, it will be decided on the identity of its first opponents in the continental tournament.

The group of possible death : France, Denmark, Croatia, Italy.
