They will be fine there. Despite a less mastered last match for the France U23 team, and a draw (3-3) against the Ukrainians, Thursday, June 9, the Bleuets will go well to the Euro in 2023 which will be played in Georgia and Romania. Sylvain Ripoll’s players failed to get rid of Ukraine, solid and reactive, which also took advantage of the opposing offensive clumsiness. Which could have made the task easier for the French.

It was the goals of Matthis Abline (3rd), Kephren Thuram (10th) and Amine Gouiri (25th) who animated the evening of young tricolors in a match relocated to the stadium Esenyurt Necmi Kadioglu of Istanbul, because of the war in Ukraine.
With this draw undoubtedly tinged with bitterness as the possibilities have flowed, this is only the second small pebble in the boot of Ripoll’s men. Against the Faroe Islands, during the second match of the qualifying phase, the Blueberries had indeed been hooked (1-1). Apart from that, only victories for the teammates of Benoit Badiashile, captain of the team.
With Amine Gouiri’s five goals out of the ten games, the France U23 team dominated with significant matches, especially against Armenia (7-0 and 4-1). They will be among the contenders for the final victory, in July 2023, for the European Under-21 Championship.
