By beating Portugal, the last winner of the League of Nations, (1-0) this Saturday, the France team has carried out several great financial and sports operations.
Indeed, she offered herself a place for the Final Four of this competition which will be played in October 2021. In addition to that, the Blues will have a qualifying group of five teams and not six for the next Coupe du World 2022, which offers a better chance of qualifying as the draw will take place on December 7.
And fewer matches, anything but anecdotal in this season with an infernal calendar.
Above all, the Blues will bail out the FFF a little with this victory, since the winner of the event will receive 6 million euros (4.5 million for the finalist, 3.5 million for the third and 2.5 million for the fourth).
The men of Didier Deschamps are also the first to have validated their ticket, the other groups being very tight.
Inventory of potential adversaries next October.
Belgium and Germany have their destiny in hand
In Group 1, Poland leads but the group is still very uncertain.
With 7 points, Robert Lewandowski's teammates are slightly favored but Italy and the Netherlands are just behind with 6 points and 5 points while there are still two days left including an Italy-Poland poster.
In Group 2, the Belgians are big favorites and a victory against England could qualify them on Sunday evening, in the event of the Danes' disappointment against the Icelanders.
In the last pool, a final will take place this Tuesday evening.
Germany and Spain will face off on the final day, and one of them will qualify.
But small advantage for the men of Joachim Low, whose draw would allow to join the Blues.
