Since the recent cancellation of the tour in Qatar, France had been looking for two opponents for the month of March.
She found them.
According to our information, it will indeed be opposed to Côte d'Ivoire on March 25 in Marseille before hosting, four days later, South Africa in Lille.
These two African nations, not qualified for the world in Qatar, had the advantage of being available during these international dates.
The FFF should formalize these two meetings very quickly.
This will be the third meeting in history against the Elephants eliminated in the round of 16 of the Can on penalties against Egypt.
The Ivorians, led by Frenchman Patrice Beaumelle, are led by prolific Ajax striker, Franco-Ivorian Sébastien Haller.
South Africa, trained by the Belgian Hugo Broos, is going through a period of scarcity.
Beaten by Ghana in November 2021, it saw the door to the World Cup play-offs close.
A few months earlier, Sudan had already deprived her of the CAN in Cameroon.
She has already faced the Blues four times, the last time at the 2010 World Cup (2-1 success for Bafana Bafana).
