The Women’s World Cup is a major objective of the new coach of Les Bleues, Hervé Renard, who aims at least the last four. So far, Hervé Renard has proven he can lead nations to the end, as he did with Zambia in the 2012 African Cup of Nations. Most recently, he beat 2022 world champions Argentina with the Saudi Arabian men’s team.
The group Hervé Renard has is promising, with a subtle mix of experienced players and new recruits with high potential. The indestructible tricolor captain, Wendie Renard, or the Lyon striker, Eugénie Le Sommer, little seen during the Corinne Deacon era, are both on the trip. Amandine Henry (93 selections), also recalled by Hervé Renard after more than two years of absence, on the other hand had to throw in the towel due to a calf injury. France will also have to do without three precious players, forwards Delphine Cascarino and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, as well as defender Griedge Mbock, who are also out.
