Azerbaijan Takes on France in Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifier: Complete Viewing Guide
France has secured their spot among the 48 teams competing for World Cup glory in North America this upcoming summer.
The 2018 champions came within a penalty shootout of becoming the first nation to successfully defend the FIFA World Cup since 1962 back in 2022, and they'll be considered among the top contenders for next summer's competition.
Didier Deschamps's squad has been typically methodical throughout qualification, but a commanding 4–0 victory against Ukraine on Thursday gave them an insurmountable six-point advantage atop Group D with only one match remaining. All the excitement in their group on Sunday will center on Iceland's clash with Ukraine, which will determine who advances to the playoffs.
Les Bleus are meeting Azerbaijan for only the fourth occasion since the Soviet Union's breakup, having secured a 3–0 triumph in the previous encounter last month. Sunday's home team will not be making their World Cup debut next summer.
