France national football team prepares for Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030
The France national football team is preparing for the Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030 with a new manager, Zinedine Zidane, and a young attack. The team finished fourth at the 2026 World Cup, but Zidane will have to rely on existing forces and address persistent weaknesses to offer a new title to the French selection.
The attack and the midfield, reliable values
The attack is a sector where certainties are not lacking. Kylian Mbappé (27 years old, Real Madrid) should still be the spearhead of the Blues for at least four years. Michael Olise (24 years old, Bayern Munich), Bradley Barcola (23 years old, PSG) and Désiré Doué (20 years old, PSG) have a bright future ahead of them. Maghnes Akliouche (24 years old, AS Monaco) and Rayan Cherki (22 years old, Manchester City) are also promising young players.
The succession of Maignan and the attacking substitutes threatened
At goalkeeper, the question of the succession of Mike Maignan (31 years old, AC Milan) is not yet pressing, but will become a subject in the years to come. Brice Samba (32 years old, Stade rennais) does not represent the future, unlike Robin Risser (21 years old, RC Lens), who has taken a step ahead of Lucas Chevalier (24 years old, PSG).
The future of the France national football team
The France national football team finished fourth at the 2026 World Cup, but Zidane will have to rely on existing forces and address persistent weaknesses to offer a new title to the French selection. The Blues will have the opportunity to present themselves for the Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030 with a new manager and a young attack.
The last match of the France national football team took place on July 14, 2026, against Spain, with a score of 0-2. The Blues have a good recent form, with 4 wins and 0 defeats in 5 recent matches. Their next match will take place on September 25, 2026, against Turkey.
