The French national team faces Paraguay this Saturday at 11:00 PM CET. The match will take place at the Philadelphia stadium as part of the 2026 World Cup Round of 16. Five Paris Saint-Germain players—all French—are involved in this match: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembélé. Find broadcast details for the Paraguay vs. France match here.
So far, France looks like a powerhouse in this competition, having scored 13 goals and secured 4 wins while conceding only twice. There is every reason to believe they will overcome Paraguay to qualify for the quarter-finals.
However, football is unforgiving, and nothing is guaranteed. One must respect the sport and the opponent—especially a team that just eliminated Germany (1-1, followed by a penalty shootout). The Paraguayans have demonstrated real defensive quality and dangerous counter-attacking ability. Les Bleus will need to stay alert while ensuring they maintain a high tempo.
Naturally, we hope our Parisian players can help France qualify through a strong performance.
