Practically the worst draw possible.
The Euro 2025 group draw which will take place in Switzerland has delivered its verdict: France takes the toughest pool with England, defending champion, the Netherlands victorious in 2017 and Wales on the menu. During the previous edition, the Blue reached the last four of the competition, taking out the Dutch in the quarter-finals (1-0) before losing in the semi-finals against Germany (2-1). . Euro 2025 will take place in Switzerland from July 2 to 27.
The League of Nations as first objective
If the Bleues qualified brilliantly for this European Championship, the lines have moved since with the departure of Hervé Renard following the elimination in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games against Brazil and the promotion of Laurent Bonadei to the rank of coach. Since the arrival of Renard’s former deputy, the Tricolores played four friendly matches for an assessment of two victories against Jamaica (3-0) and Nigeria (2-1) for two defeats against Switzerland (2-1) and Spain (2-4).
Before turning to the Euro, the Blues will compete in the Nations League between February and June where they will face Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. This competition will allow French women to get to know each other better and gauge themselves before the summer deadline.
In any case, France will not be European champion in friendly matches this season.
