It will be a headache to find the eleven who will start so much I have choices”, explained the coach after the second friendly match.

In this competition, Les Bleues will be in Group D along with Italy, Iceland and Belgium. For the first meeting, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and her teammates will face the Italians on Sunday July 10, four days after the start of the competition before returning to Belgium on National Day on July 14 and concluding against Iceland.

The French women’s football team has an appointment with Euro 2022 from Wednesday July 6. As traditionally, as for men, the list of players who will compete in the competition is particularly awaited. Despite her impressive performances with Olympique Lyonnais, winner of the last Champions League, Amandine Henry was not called up to play in the competition. Here is the list :

• Babysitters: Pauline Peyraud-Magnin (Juventus Turin/Ita), Mylène Chavas (Bordeaux), Justine Lerond (Metz)
• Defenders: Selma Bacha (Lyon), Hawa Cissoko (West Ham / Ang), Sakina Karchaoui (Paris SG), Griedge Mbock (Lyon), Eve Perisset (Bordeaux), Wendie Renard (Lyon), Marion Torrent (Montpellier), Aïssatou Tounkara (Atlético of Madrid/Spain).
• Environments : Charlotte Bilbault (Bordeaux), Kenza Dali (Everton / Ang), Grace Geyoro (Paris SG), Ella Palis (Bordeaux), Sandie Toletti (Levante / Esp).
• Forwards: Sandy Baltimore (Paris SG), Delphine Cascarino (Lyon), Kadidiatou Diani (Paris SG), Marie-Antoinette Katoto (Paris SG), Melvine Malard (Lyon), Clara Matéo (Paris FC), Ouleymata Sarr (Paris FC).

Les Bleues aim to do better than in 2017 and an elimination in the quarter-finals against England. If they aim to go as far as possible in the competition, this is also the case for the reigning European champions, the Netherlands led by Lieke Mertens and Vivienne Miedema. Eight-time titled Germany is an outsider like Denmark, finalist in 2017. Spain, with several FC Barcelona players, will have its say like Sweden, second in the FIFA rankings.
