Thierry Henry will announce a list of players for the French Olympic football team on March 14. The list will include players from the 2001 generation and therefore eligible to compete in the Olympic Games.

A prelist of around a hundred names was already sent three weeks ago, and will be reduced to 50 in May, before the final announcement. Two preparatory matches await the U23 national team against Ivory Coast, Friday March 22 in Châteauroux, then against the United States, Monday March 25 in Sochaux.
