the match of Les Bleues against the Olympic champions in four facts

Inducted as head of the French women’s team on March 30, Hervé Renard took his place for the second time on the bench of Les Bleues, Tuesday April 11 at Le Mans, during the friendly match against Canada.

For this second outing, the coach and his new troops pass a major test, against the reigning Olympic champions. After the victory over Colombia (5-2) on Friday, Wendie Renard’s teammates must raise their level to compete with one of the great references in world football. The Canadians will notably count on their attacker Christine Sinclair. At 39, she is the top scorer in history in selection with 186 achievements, for 296 caps. Opposite, after having achieved a double for her return to the selection after two years of absence, Eugénie Le Sommer aspires to shine with her teammates.
