This Thursday, the French national team will play its 2026 World Cup quarter-final match against Morocco at 10:00 PM CET at Gillette Stadium in Boston. The Bleus will play the match in a different kit, even though they are technically the “home” team for administrative purposes. Ouest-France reports that a different choice has indeed been made.
🚨🚨 THE FRENCH TEAM 🇫🇷 WILL WEAR ITS AWAY KIT AGAINST MOROCCO 🇲🇦! 👕
There is no single obvious explanation for this decision. The choice to wear the away kit—which is slightly green—could stem from marketing considerations or even a touch of superstition. Television visibility is another factor; while some viewers might watch the match in black and white, Morocco’s away kit is white and would not have posed a particular clash with France’s blue jersey.
In any case, the decision has been made. Fans are already expressing their approval, particularly given France’s strong performances while wearing this kit.
