The coach of the France team unveiled this Tuesday, June 6 the list of players who will compete in the next world.
A year after the men, the Women’s World Cup will punctuate the summer. Australia and New Zealand will host the 9th edition of the Women’s World Cup from July 20 to August 20. This Tuesday, June 6, the coach of the France team Hervé Renard unveiled an expanded list of 26 players for the World Cup with the return of Amandine Henry and the presence of Diani despite his injury. Asked about the subject, the former coach of Saudi Arabia said he was confident. “She communicated herself, she resumed racing at the beginning of last week. There is a little time left, she will have a specialized program. We have given two weeks of total recovery to all players with a recovery program for the last week. Kadi won’t have a stoppage, no cuts. I think there won’t be a problem.”

Germany, Sweden and England seem to be best placed to curb the momentum of the United States, which won quite easily at the start of 2023 at the SheBelieves Cup. Germany is vice-champion of Europe. Sweden finished in the last four at the last editions of the 2019 World Cup and Euro 2022. The English are European champions.
The opening match of the World Cup is scheduled for July 20. The group stages will continue until August 3 before a latency day. Indeed the rest of the competition will be more decisive with the knockout stages and a final organized on August 20 in Sydney at Stadium Australia.
France was the last host country of the Women’s World Cup in 2019. It passes the torch to co-hosts New Zealand and Australia.

The French women’s team will probably take on the outsider label. Les Bleues in international competition are very regular. They have systematically come out of the pools since 2009. However, they have never played in a final, always disqualified before. They are struggling to get the upper hand over opponents who have shown more confidence and serenity in key moments. Solid France will once again be looking for a first final.
- July 23, 2023: France-Jamaica (12h)
- July 29, 2023: France – Brazil (12h)
- August 2, 2023: Panama – France (12h)
