The French national team has officially determined its opponents for important friendly matches in March 2026. Didier Deschamps' team will begin their preparations for the World Cup with two strong matches in the USA.
It has been announced that Les Bleus will first face Brazil, one of the regular favorites in the World Cup, on March 26th. Soon after, on March 29, they will face the Colombia national team. Both matches are of great importance for France's tactical preparation, new additions to the squad, and further development of the style of play.
These trials are especially important for France - according to the 2026 World Cup draw, they are in Group I alongside Senegal, Norway, and the playoff winner (Bolivia, Suriname, or Iraq). This quartet cannot be called easy, especially with rivals like African champion Senegal and consistently growing Norway.
Through these two friendly matches, France aims to find the rhythm of the game, eliminate shortcomings in attack and defense, and gain a psychological advantage before the World Cup. In particular, testing the capabilities of new young players is also part of Deschamps' plan.
The matches in the USA will undoubtedly be watched with great interest not only by coaches but also by millions of fans. Indeed, France's matches against Brazil and Colombia will be a kind of "mini-festival" for the global football community.
The next stage for the French national team is a more intense group competition. Therefore, these two clashes in March will demonstrate their readiness for the championship.
