France Squad for FIFA World Cup 2022

About France Squad for FIFA World Cup 2022 – The defending world champion France is one of the favorite teams who can easily win the 2022 Qatar World Cup. This will be the French national team’s 16 appearances in the World Cup. They have won the world’s most prestigious trophy 2 times (1998, 2018).

To grab the golden trophy for the 3rd time, they must beat other teams in group D ( Austria, Denmark, and Tunisia) to qualify for the knockouts. French national team’s veteran coach Didier Deschamps wants to build a successful squad. The scariest thing about France’s party is that they have very skilled players on the team and all of the players are very young.

So, without wasting any time let’s know about France’s entire squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Coach

The French national side has a legendary coach like Didier Deschamps. The well-experienced coach has the probability to make the French national team grab the trophy for 3rd time being. His cold temper and game-understanding mentality can strike fear into opposing teams.

Goalkeepers

One of the greatest goalkeepers in the world and also a French captain Hugo Lloris can easily beat any opponent’s forward. So, he is the main goalkeeper for the French national side. But Lloris has a big injury. So there is doubt whether he can play in Qatar. As a football fan, I am hopeful that he will play.

Mike Maignan and Alphonse Areola are the other goalkeepers in the 2022 World Cup squad. AC Milan’s young goalkeeper Mike Maignan Going through the good form now. So if Lloris does not play, he will man the goalpost for the French national team.
