Mondial 2026 – Sénégal-France : Deschamps a déjà son onze de départ en tête
With less than two weeks to go before their opening match at the 2026 World Cup, the French national team is continuing its preparations calmly. While Didier Deschamps remains cautious about his final selections for the match against Senegal on June 16, the French coach has admitted to already having a clear idea of his starting lineup.
In a press conference, the French coach revealed that his starting eleven for the first World Cup match was already decided in his mind. However, several factors could still alter his plans before the tournament kicks off.
“Of course I have it in my mind, yes… But you never know. There will be two games between now and then, things can happen too,” Deschamps explained.
The coach also mentioned the intense competition within the French squad. All the international players are hoping to secure a starting place for this highly anticipated match against the Lions of Teranga, which could lead to some frustration.
"They all want to be starters. We will be vigilant about the frustration that this may create," he said.
Before facing Senegal, France will play two more friendly matches to fine-tune their teamwork. The 2018 world champions will first take on Ivory Coast this Thursday, before facing Northern Ireland next Monday.
