The Stade de France is waiting, and France will arrive there on Friday with early momentum in their Nations League campaign. After victories over Turkey and Belgium, Les Bleus face Italy in a third-round meeting scheduled for 20:45.
The fixture will also mark Zinédine Zidane’s first match in France since taking charge of the national team. Italy provide the next test for a side looking to extend a winning start after their first two results in the competition.
Midfielder Manu Koné is due to address the media on Wednesday at 11:00, two days before the match. His press conference comes as France prepare for one of the most significant evenings of this Nations League group stage, with a home crowd set to welcome Zidane’s new era onto French soil.
