[Mis à jour le 9 novembre 2022 à 21h02] The dates for the 2022 FIFA World Cup have been known for some time. It is from November 21 to December 18 that the football planet has an appointment in Qatar. For the Blues – at least for 25 of them – the adventure began on Wednesday November 9 with the announcement of the list of selected by Didier Deschamps on TF1.

But the date of the first match for the French team in the competition, against Australia, has been set for Tuesday November 22, 2022, at 8 p.m. France, the reigning world champions, will start against the same team as four years ago. And we hope that the Blues will have as much trouble overcoming the Australians as in June 2018 (2-1 after a rough match), if the key is the same success until the end of the competition. Denmark will follow on November 26, another old friend, then Tunisia on November 30.

Due to the very particular calendar of this World Cup, the preparation time of the players of the France team is completely truncated and it will be necessary to gauge the state of form of the players who have already chained many matches since the beginning of the season. “There is no preparation, we will not be able to modify the state of form of our players”, has also dropped Didier Deschamps on the set of TF1, estimating at “a good week” the recovery time granted to its 25 before the big bath. “As of next Thursday, we will be on our first objective: Australia,” he continued.

The French team will complete a two-day course in Clairefontaine, on November 14 and 15, before leaving for Doha on the 16th, where the Blues will join their base camp.

Here is the list of the 25 players of the French team selected by Didier Deschamps for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar:

  • Guardians : Alphonse Areola (West Ham / ENG), Hugo Lloris (Tottenham / ENG), Steve Mandanda (Rennes)
  • Defenders : Lucas Hernandez (Bayern Munich/GER), Théo Hernandez (AC Milan/ITA), Presnel Kimpembe (PSG), Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool/ANG), Jules Koundé (FC Barcelona/ESP), Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich/GER) , William Saliba (Arsenal/ENG), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich/GER), Raphaël Varane (Manchester United/ENG)
  • Environments : Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid / ESP), Youssouf Fofana (Monaco), Mattéo Guendouzi (OM), Adrien Rabiot (Juventus Turin / ITA), Aurélien Tchouaméni (Real Madrid / ESP), Jordan Veretout (OM)

As tradition before each major competition, the jersey of the France team for the next World Cup was officially unveiled this Thursday, September 15 by the equipment supplier Nike. The outfits do not present any big surprises and correspond to the “leaks” mentioned for several days.

The home jersey is sober with midnight blue and a gold logo, while the white breaks the codes a little more. “The French collection is a fusion of the heritage and the future of the country, writes the equipment manufacturer in its press release. The motif of the oak leaf and the olive branch of the home kit represents strength, solidarity and peace. Classic French design elements include a tricolor insert on the shorts, jacquard sock and cuff, and gold detailing.
