France takes on Côte d'Ivoire in its second-to-last friendly ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the two nations clashing in Nantes on Thursday, June 4.
A notable injury blow to center back William Saliba has somewhat complicated manager Didier Deschamps' preparations, though he will remain determined to see his squad—and its abundance of elite attacking talent—gain momentum heading into a tournament that presents a challenging Group I featuring Senegal, Norway, and Iraq.
Côte d'Ivoire, however, should not be underestimated. Despite their own defensive injury worries, Les Éléphants possess a dangerous attack that could be their most potent since the celebrated golden generation of the late 2000s and early 2010s.
All the makings of a compelling contest are in place. Here's how you can tune in.
