France qualified among the sixteen participating countries. 21 players have been selected in Blue and there are two neighboring lakes of Grand Lieu: Lola Boisset from Saint-Lumine de Coutais and Juliette Mossard de Saint-Mars de Coutais, who joined the list at the last minute.

Both evolved FC Nantes and they were part of the first team squad to play in D2F this year, like Laureen Oil from Saint-Colombian. They celebrated their 17th birthday last July.

After Bosnia and Herzegovina Last May for the European Championship, they flew to India on 6th October to compete in this World Cup, alongside teammates from FC Nantes, Lisa Lebrun (goalkeeper).

Very strong group

The task promises to be difficult, competition intensifies and the French side were beaten at the same time by Germany and Spain at the Euros, which puts them temporarily behind these two nations in the European hierarchy.

The Bleuettes’ run therefore promises to be tough with groups including Japan, Canada and Tanzania. In terms of a possible quarter-final, it will be against a formidable team, especially if it is Spain.

France started their tournament with a draw against Canada this Wednesday, 12 October 2022 (1-1), at the pandit Jawaharllal Nehru stadium in the state of Goa.
