The French women’s team faces Nigeria on Saturday November 30 in a friendly match. After their success against Jamaica (3-0), the Blues lost in Switzerland (2-1) last month, notably suffering a superb goal from young Naomi Luyet. This new gathering is an opportunity for Laurent Bonadei’s players to get back on the path to victory. Broadcast, location, issues… Here’s what you need to know before the France – Nigeria match.
What is the main issue between France and Nigeria?
Before facing Spain, the last winner of the League of Nations against France, this first friendly match will pit the French against Nigeria. After their two victories against Algeria last month, the Nigerians will aim to win again, while they are in full preparation for the 2025 African Cup of Nations, which will be held in the summer next.
For his third match on the Blue bench, Laurent Bonadei must make the final adjustments before the Batations League. The competition will begin on February 21 against Norway. All that remains is this match as well as that of Spain to allow the Blues to find the right automatisms. The main challenge will be for the coach to find which players to develop for the start of the next competition, while he does not yet know his group perfectly, having recently arrived to replace Hervé Renard.
