In French football, young players like Olise, Doué, Barcola, Akliouche, Cherki, and Zaïre-Emery are making waves.
The French national team is full of quality for the present and the future, as has been the case in recent years, and Didier Deschamps has the fun task of choosing his side.
Due to dwindling interest and the value of broadcast rights, it is ironic that one of Europe’s longtime favorites in international competitions is simultaneously experiencing a serious economic issue in its home league. With the notable exception of Paris Saint-Germain, a large number of stars have left the team due to financial difficulties.
The French national team looks ready to unleash a new golden generation over the next eight to ten years after their victory in the 2018 World Cup and a devastating penalty shootout loss in Qatar in 2022.
With well-established players like William Saliba (age 23) and Eduardo Camavinga (age 22), France is in the fortunate situation of having a number of players ready to make an impression and possibly play a significant part in the 2026 World Cup.
