As Euro 2024 approaches, speculation around the composition of France’s squad is reaching fever pitch.
Under the stewardship of Didier Deschamps, Les Bleus aim to capture their first European Championship since 2000, building on their current formidable presence in international football.
This article delves into the potential line-up, highlighting key inclusions and notable omissions that could shape France’s campaign in Germany.

In midfield, Eduardo Camavinga, Adrien Rabiot, and Aurelien Tchouameni offer a dynamic mix of defensive solidity and creative prowess, essential for dominating the European stage.
