An entry into perilous. The French team begins its euro with a high-flying shock against England, world vice-champion and reigning European champion, Saturday June 5 at the Letzigrund in Zurich (9 p.m.). In other words, the Bleues will have to answer present from the start of their tournament if they want to get the first title in their history. And this, especially since group D is particularly raised with the novice country of Wales, but especially the Netherlands.
A renewed tricolor group. It is without Wendie Renard, Eugénie Le Sommer or Kenza Dali, left aside by the coach, that the French present themselves in Switzerland for the Euro. The Bleues will also have to do without their captain Griedge Mbock, injured in a calf and forfeit for this duel against the Lionesses.
A French team with full confidence. For his first competition under the leadership of Laurent Bonadei, the tricolor selection advances on a beautiful dynamic of eight wins in rank this year. Better still, she showed that she was able to win with the game and the way, as against Belgium on June 20 (5-0), but also with the guts by overthrowing an impressive Brazil during the last preparation match eight days ago (3-2).
England, a giant in full doubt. The English people have arrived with a title to defend but the Sarina Wiegman team has experienced a few stir in recent weeks. The Frenchman Fran Kirby as well as the PSG goalkeeper Mary Earps have decided to end their international careers. Captain Millie Bright, she, withdrawn, advancing mental and physical fatigue. In addition, the results continue to fluctuate after the non-qualification of Team GB at the Olympic Games, with in particular a draw in Portugal (1-1) and a defeat in Belgium (3-2) in 2025.
