The French national team faces Ivory Coast this Thursday at 9:10 PM CET. The match will be played at the Stade de la Beaujoire, a preparation game for the 2026 World Cup. Five Paris Saint-Germain players, all French, will be involved: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Ousmane Dembélé.

Of course, this isn’t the highly anticipated tournament yet. It’s “only” a friendly, so we shouldn’t expect the highest possible intensity, and we shouldn’t draw too many conclusions from this encounter. However, it’s far from lacking in interest or potential entertainment.
Both teams are preparing for the World Cup. Therefore, it’s important to work hard, build confidence, and find their rhythm. Keep in mind that the performances of each team can be difficult to judge without knowing the exact instructions of each coach. We hope for some great football, with each player eager to impress ahead of the World Cup.
