Since their coronation at Russia 2018, the French side has embodied the elite of European football: a love of possession, world-class talent working in harmony, and a squad used to playing finals, world champions in 2018 and runners-up in 2022.
On the other side, the Black Stars arrive with an explosive mix of physical power, pace, and flair, loyal to an African football school that came within touching distance of the semi-finals in 2010 and once again showed its competitive edge at Qatar 2022.
With no real history of clashes between these two senior national teams, this matchup feels almost brand new, full of unknowns. In a group stage where every single point can bring you closer to – or further from – a spot in the next round, this game promises maximum intensity from the first whistle.
Carrying the weight of a glittering record on their shoulders, the French squad leans on Kylian Mbappé, already on 12 World Cup goals, as the spearhead of a terrifying attack.
Facing them, the West African team pins its hopes on the creativity of Mohammed Kudus, the leadership of Thomas Partey, and the killer instinct of Iñaki Williams to challenge European dominance.
Two footballing paths and two continents collide on the world stage: secure your ticket and witness live a showdown destined to define a generation.
