The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Wednesday the holding of a friendly match for the Blues against Ukraine on October 7 (19:10 GMT), at the Stade de France, four days before the clash in the League of Nations against Portugal .

The last confrontation between French and Ukrainians dates back to the barrage of November 2013, which allowed the Blues to validate their ticket for the 2014 World Cup after a memorable return match (3-0).

This meeting is part of the preparation of the France team before the top of its League of Nations group against Portugal on October 11 in Saint-Denis, between two six-point selections in two matches.

Hugo Lloris' teammates will continue with a trip to Croatia on October 14.
