French women's football team will play the first final in its history on Wednesday, that of the Nations League against Spain. Les Bleues have only won friendly tournaments such as the Cyprus Tournament (2012, 2014), the She Believes Cup (2017), or more recently the French Tournament (2020, 2022 and 2023) Coach Hervé Renard also has his sights set on the Olympic Games this summer in Paris, for which France and Spain are already qualified.
“It could be a very big detonation, it would send a big message to say that France is ready to play this kind of big competition”, says goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.
