After the fiasco of the last World Cup, the French men's team was called upon to review its habits and methods. Kenny Atkinson was thus hired to bring a little novelty to Vincent Collet's staff, and there is also change for the preparation of the next Olympic Games in Paris.
Indeed, while the Blues had started their last preparation against modest teams (Tunisia, Montenegro, Venezuela, etc.), the FFBB has this time chooses high density.
Gathered for an internship at INSEP from June 17, the Blues will begin their preparation against the Türkiye, in Rouen, July 3. On July 6, head to Cologne for a duel againstGermany, reigning world champion. Return match against the Mannschaft in Montpellier, July 8.
On July 12, in Lyon, France will challenge the Serbiareigning vice-world champion, before continuing strong with two shocks against the Canada et al'Australiain Orléans, July 19 and 21.
Very heavy therefore, hoping that the Blues do not lose too many feathers before going to Lille for the first phase of the Olympic Games. Ticketing for these preparation matches will open in March.
