 France national team head coach Didier Deschamps has commented on the upcoming match against Senegal in the 1st round of the 2026 World Cup. The defeat against Senegal in 2002 is part of the country's history. "This is a historic event, but many of my current team were not even born in 2002. We cannot fight again - it has been 24 years since those events. Now, we are starting a new chapter. In this way, we will make all efforts to get our desired result," Desam said. The match will be held today, June 16, at the MetLife Stadium in the United States. The umpire's first whistle will sound at 22:00 Moscow time. France will face Iraq on the 23rd in the 2nd round of Group I and Norway on the 26th in the 3rd round. --- ## Related Articles 1.
