the group and calendar of the French Team
This Thursday, the 2026 World Cup will start with a tantalizing match between Mexico and South Africa. For France, on the other hand, we will have to wait a little longer. The Blues who beat Northern Ireland this Monday evening (3-1) after a defeat against Ivory Coast last Thursday (2-1) will enter the competition in a tough Group I. On the program, we find an African giant with Senegal, a long-toothed outsider with Erling Haaland’s Norway and the astonishing selection of Iraq which recently held Spain in a friendly (1-1).
The Blues will initially compete against Senegal. Against a Pape Thiaw team which was eighth finalist in the last edition, the Tricolores will have their work cut out for them on Tuesday June 16 at 9 p.m. Subsequently, it will be against Iraq, the most affordable opponent, that the Blues will have their chance in a match which will take place on Monday June 22 at 11 p.m. Finally, France will end its group stage against Norway on Friday June 26 at 9 p.m. The three matches will be broadcast on beIN Sports 1 and M6.
