France had a very good World Cup recently in Qatar losing to Argentina in the final, but their future looks bright with a lot of stars forming the roster. Find out what is their 2023 schedule.
In the history of the World Cup, only two countries have managed to repeat the title. The last time this happened was in 1962, so what France did in Qatar was remarkable. Argentina was their only obstacle to achieving this feat.
France was in the spotlight even before the start of the tournament. The injury that ruled Karim Benzema out of the squad was only the first of many key players in the end. It might have reflected in their performances, but even without them they were really close.
Their journey once again took them to the finals. In Russia 2018, they beat Croatia in this match, although they failed to do so this time. A hat-trick scored by Kylian Mbappe was not enough as they lost on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
The 2023 schedule of France national soccer team
There was some speculation about Didier Deschamps continuity at the helm. His journey there has been astonishing as it was as a player. He not only led the team to a World Cup title in Russia, but also added finals in Qatar and at the Euro hosted by France in 2016.
Deschamps decided to stay in the position to keep the national team among the best in the world. They will not be able to defend the UEFA Nations League crown they won in Italy in 2021, although there will be enough games.
The path to the next Euro to be played in Germany is what the nations in the continent have next. All their matchups will be for the qualifiers in a five-team group. They will be sharing that with the Netherlands, Gibraltar, Ireland, and Greece.
