France is coming off a 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast in its most recent friendly. Rayan Cherki scored France’s lone goal just before the half to put the team ahead, but the lead wouldn’t hold. It was the team’s first loss since the Nations League semifinals against Spain last June and its first loss in a friendly since March 2024 against Germany.
Northern Ireland’s World Cup hopes were dashed in March with a 2-0 loss to Italy in the qualification playoffs. Following this match, the team will be off until UEFA Nations League play begins in September, with the team set to face Georgia in League B group play.
FIFA World Cup play is right around the corner. You can watch the entire tournament on Fubo, including all of France’s games. The French team begins World Cup play on June 16 in East Rutherford against Senegal.
