The French women’s team is heading for a new goal. They open their Euro 2025 campaign with a group stage match against Ireland in Metz on Friday. Les Bleues will have their work cut out for them to qualify for next summer’s competition in Switzerland, with England and Sweden in the group.
What time and on which channel to watch France (F) – Ireland (F)
The match between the Blues and the Irish will be broadcast in France on Friday 5 April 2024 at 21:10.
Look up
The French, understandably dejected after losing the final against Spain at the end of February, have the opportunity to turn quickly to a new challenge. Due to the selection that makes up their group, they will not be able to give a gift under the penalty of staying in France in the summer of 2025. 4 months before the Olympic Games in Paris, Hervé Renard’s daughters will try to quickly take over the leadership of their group in these Euro 2025 qualifiers, which they promise to that they will be complicated.
Metz, fertile ground for the Blues
The French team is back at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in Metz, where they beat Switzerland twice in 2021. This time they face Ireland, who they have faced three times since 2011. They won 3-0 in their last encounter, in a friendly in July 2023. The same scoreline would be ideal to start this European campaign.
