France's World Cup squad, Les Bleus, delighted fans on a training day open to public on Saturday (June 6) at their training in Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines, outside Paris.

France suffered a shock 1-2 loss to Ivory Coast last Thursday (June 4), in a warm-up match ahead of the World Cup, pushing their FIFA world ranking to third.

Les Bleus, who were on a nine-match unbeaten streak, next face Northern Ireland in a final warm-up game in Lille on Monday (June 8).

They depart for their World Cup base camp in Boston on Wednesday (June 10).

France, captained by star forward Kylian Mbappe and coached by Didier Deschamps, start their hunt for a third FIFA World Cup title in Group I against African giants Senegal on June 16 at the MetLife Stadium.

Bayern Munich's Michael Olise, and Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue complete the attacking quartet.

Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate and Bayern's Dayot Upamecano are also expected to carry weight.

Having lifted the trophy in 1998 and 2018, the French have also suffered heartbreaking defeats on penalties in the 2006 and 2022 finals.
