From the Manchester Warehouse, just next to Old Trafford, representatives of the France team attended the draw for the competition which will be held from July 6 to 31 in England. Seeded and present in hat 1 just like the host country, Germany and the Netherlands, France inherits a group a priori within its reach.
Wendie Renard’s teammates will start their adventure against the Italians (July 10) before challenging their Belgian neighbors (July 14). The Blue will then play their last meeting against Iceland (July 18) before reaching, if all goes well, the quarter-finals. It was at this stage of the competition that they had fallen against England in 2017. Enough to feed a great revenge next summer and go and win a first major trophy in the history of the French women’s team. .
The draw for the 16 selections participating in the Women’s Euro 2022:
Group A: England, Austria, Norway, Northern Ireland
Group B: Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland
