France Prepares for FIFA World Cup with Coach Deschamps and Presidential SupportPreviousNext

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup, France's head coach Didier Deschamps emphasized focusing on the present challenges rather than past victories from 1998 and 2018. Deschamps, who has won the World Cup as both player and coach, aims to lead France to a third consecutive final. French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron met the national team before their departure to the US, where France will begin their campaign against Senegal on June 16 in Group I alongside Senegal, Iraq, and Norway.
