The Blues have had a remarkable journey
The French team has so far had a remarkable, almost faultless performance. The Blues finished second in Group F, easily beating Guatemala (3-6) and Venezuela (7-3). However, they lost – with a controversy to boot – against Iran (1-4). In the round of 16, they easily defeated Thailand (2-5) before taking out, with a little more difficulty, Paraguay (2-1) in the quarter-finals. Argentina, this Thursday afternoon, represents their biggest obstacle of this World Cup.

The winner will face Brazil in the final
If France wins this Thursday afternoon, it will meet Brazil in the final this Sunday. In the event of defeat, the Blues will face Ukraine in the match for third place.
16:37
Argentina, a formidable opponent
World champion in 2016, world vice-champion in 2021, the Albiceleste is (largely) favored by the predictions. And all the more so since she won against the Blues (3-5) last August, in Orléans, in a preparation match.
16:34
A (already) historic meeting
Before the 2024 edition organized in Uzbekistan, the France team had never qualified for a Futsal World Cup. So, reaching the final four of the competition is already a great accomplishment for Raphaël Reynaud and his men. This Thursday afternoon, they have the opportunity to make even more history in the discipline by reaching their very first international final. Will they succeed?
16:30
Kick-off at 5 p.m.
The match will start in half an hour, at the Humo Arena in Tashkent (Uzbekistan).
