Germany then Chile?
This could be, according to our information, the program for the vice-world champions next March.
After welcoming the Mannschaft on March 23 in Lyon, the Blues were looking for an opponent for their second match scheduled three days later at the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille.
According to consistent sources, it should be Chile even if nothing is official yet.
These two meetings are part of the preparation for Euro 2024 (June 14 - July 14) where France will face Austria, the Netherlands and a nation from the play-offs.
The other two matches are scheduled for the end of spring after Didier Deschamps' list of 23 is communicated around May 15.
These will take place in Bordeaux and Metz against nations still to be determined.
A reunion with Alexis Sanchez
The last visit of the tricolors to Marseille dates back to March 25, 2022. It ended in success against Ivory Coast (2-1) thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
For the record, the French football team has already performed 17 times in the Marseille city, the first time at the Huveaune stadium and the following 16 at the velodrome.
In its history, France has already faced Chile five times, the last time in August 2011 in Montpellier in a friendly match (1-1).
The South American selection is currently participating in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. It occupies 8th place.
The first 6 countries are qualified for the final phase, the 7th is transferred to the intercontinental play-off.
If this meeting is confirmed, it would also mark the reunion of Alexis Sanchez, the Chilean star, with the Marseille public.
The current Inter Milan player played for OM during the 2022-2023 season.
