Euro 2024 is close for the Blues. Since their victory against Ireland (2-0) on September 7 at the Parc des Princes, Didier Deschamps’ players know that there is not much left for them to accomplish to secure their place for the next championship. Europe, which will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, and the draw for which will take place at the beginning of December. In the event of a victory against the Netherlands in Amsterdam, Friday October 13, France would validate its ticket. A draw could also be enough.

France qualified if…

– She wins against the Netherlands

– It draws and Greece loses in Ireland

If successful Friday at the Johan Cruyff Arena, after having already beaten the Netherlands in the first leg in March (4-0), the France team would officially secure its place for the next Euro and its 15th international competition in a row. With a draw against the Dutch, we will have to look at what is happening at the same time in Dublin, between Ireland and Greece. A defeat for the Greeks would allow the Blues to qualify.

France will have to wait if…

– She loses against the Netherlands

– It draws and Greece does not lose

An unfavorable outcome during this match against Ronald Koeman’s players will not call into question the French team’s chances of qualifying. It will simply push away what seems almost acquired. The Blues will play a friendly match against Scotland in Lille on Tuesday, and will then have to wait until next month to qualify. This would probably be validated against the modest Gibraltar team, on November 18, at the Allianz Riviera in Nice.
