The big deadline is approaching for the France team and the 23 other teams who will participate this summer in Euro 2024, in Germany (June 14-July 14). After discovering, on December 2, the composition of their group which included a roadblocker, the Blues have known since Tuesday March 26 the complete composition of their group: Austria, Netherlands and Poland.
In less than three months, on June 12, Didier Deschamps and his players will take over their Bad Lippspringe base camp after a short fortnight spent in Clairefontaine (meeting on May 28) interspersed with two preparatory matches on the 5th and 9th. June in Metz, then Bordeaux against opponents to be determined. Things will move very quickly then with a first match on Monday June 17 (9 p.m.) against Austria, at the Düsselforf Arena, which will be followed on TF1.
Next will come THE shock of this group D: the confrontation against the Netherlands of Ronald Koeman, 6th Fifa nation. The Batavians were already in the Blues’ qualifying group, and things had gone rather badly for Virgil van Dijk’s teammates: two defeats (4-0, 2-1) and six goals conceded. This match will take place on Friday June 21 (9 p.m.) at the Leipzig Stadium, and will be broadcast on M6.
Finally, the Blues will close their group stage against the play-off and last qualifier, Poland. Robert Lewandowski’s teammates, whom the Blues met in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup, defeated Wales at the end of a barrage full of suspense, which was decided on penalties ( 0-0, 5-4 at the tab). This match will be played on Tuesday June 25 (6 p.m.) at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, and will be broadcast on TF1.
The final phase will then start on June 29, with the round of 16. The Blues could play from June 30, if they were to be drafted among the best thirds or, more likely, the 1st (2nd in group D against 2nd in group E) or on July 2 (1st in group D against 2nd in group F). The quarter-finals will be played on July 5 and 6, the semi-finals on the 9 and 10 and the grand final on the 14th.
