EURO 2022. Second match of the French team at the Women’s Euro Football this Thursday, July 14 against Belgium. Les Bleues can already qualify for the quarter-finals.
After an impressive first match for Les Bleues against Italy and a 5-1 victory, the French team of Corinne Deacon, first in Pool D, can already qualify for the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euro if they win against Belgium this Thursday, July 14. To get to first place in the group, Wendie Renard’s teammates must also bet on a misstep by Iceland against Italy. Any other result than a victory for the Icelanders, combined with the victory for the players of Corinne Deacon, would ensure first place in group D and therefore a more affordable match against the second in group C.
But beware, even if everything seems to be going well for the French women’s team in this women’s Euro, the coach of the France team has, from the end of the match against Italy, mobilized his troops for the future. “Now we will have to stay focused and humble. We started this competition very well but we also know that we can quickly catch up. We have to stay calm, focused and keep working.”
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.
