By Romain DaveauIt's back-to-school time for the Blues! Didier Deschamps ' team returns to the joys of competition this Friday: they face Ukraine in Wroclaw (Poland), in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, a few days before hosting Iceland at the Parc des Princes (September 9).
As runners-up to the World Cup, the French team obviously can't afford to fail and must secure their spot. In a group that also includes Azerbaijan, it's easily achievable. Les Bleus haven't missed a World Cup or Euro since 1994.
As a reminder, all group winners qualify for the World Cup. The 12 second-placed nations will play a play-off with the Nations League group winners who did not finish in the top two places in their World Cup qualifying group.
The Ukraine-France match is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 p.m. this Friday, September 5. The match will be broadcast live on TF1 and with live commentary on leparisien.fr
