EURO 2022. By winning 2-1 against Belgium for its second match of the Women’s Football Euro, the French team is qualified for the quarter-finals.
It was sluggish, but the French women’s football team qualified for the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euro in England after their second victory in two games against Belgium with a score of 2-1. With this victory and the draw between Iceland and Italy in the other pool match, Les Bleues de Corinne Deacon are even guaranteed to finish in 1st place in the group, whatever the result against Iceland, match scheduled for Monday, July 18.
“We’re not used to being roughed up, let’s say. But despite everything, we had a consistent match, we still defended well. I don’t think Pauline Peyraud-Magnin had great saves to do, but they (the Belgians) were dangerous despite everything. We scored in two key moments of the first period: the first minutes and the last five” analyzed Corinne Deacon after the match.
In 2017, the Euro took place in the Netherlands where the Dutch locals became European champions. In 2022, the European Championship will take place in England, where the matches will be played in 10 stadiums: Wembley Stadium (London), Bramall Lane (Sheffield), St Mary’s Stadium (Southampton), Falmer Stadium (Brighton), Brentford Community Stadium (Brentford), Leigh Sports Village (Leigh), Old Trafford and Academy Stadium (Manchester), New York Stadium (Rotterham), Stadium MK (Milton Keynes).

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 Mateo (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.
