They will be 23 in search of the European title. The coach of the France football team, Corinne Deacon, announced on Monday May 30 on TF1, the list of players who will compete in the Euro, from July 6 to 31 in England. Executives, such as captain Wendie Renard and winger Delphine Cascarino, are among the lucky ones.
On the other hand, the captain of the last World Cup, in 2019, Amandine Henry, was not recalled. Due to disputes with the boss of Les Bleues, the Lyon midfielder has been sidelined for a year and a half. Eugénie Le Sommer, top scorer in the history of the France team, is the other big absentee. Both players took part in OL’s recent double (league and Champions League).
