2026 World Cup: France celebrates round of 32 qualification with ice cream

The French Football Federation has found a refreshing way to cool down supporters of the French national team following their qualification for the round of 32.

The French federation has announced the launch of the “Liberty Ice Cream” to celebrate Les Bleus’ qualification for the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup. “To bring this experience to life, the FFF has teamed up with Glazed, a renowned Parisian artisan ice cream maker known for its expertise and original creations. True to its commitment to quality, Glazed produces 100% natural ice cream, free from additives and made from carefully selected ingredients. Two exclusive flavors have been created for the occasion: a yogurt ice cream dressed in an intense blue, echoing the French home kit, and a mint ice cream tinted with a sea green inspired by the ‘Liberté’ away kit. These delicious creations extend the visual universe of the two jerseys unveiled for the 2026 World Cup. Each ice cream will be served with two star-shaped shortbread cookies crafted by Parisian pastry chef Vincent Salur—a nod to the two World Cups won by Les Bleus and to the history that the French team continues to write on the international stage.”, the statement reads.

“On the occasion of Les Bleus’ final group stage match against Norway and their secured qualification, ‘Liberty Ice Cream’ will be available on Friday 26th, Saturday 27th, and Sunday 28th June. A tasty rendezvous to experience the excitement of the World Cup and support fans all the way to the round of 32, on Tuesday 30th June. The initiative will allow anyone making a purchase at the official FFF store or at one of the pop-up stores located at Place de Varsovie, Place de l’Opéra, and the Champs-Élysées roundabout – Franklin D. Roosevelt, to receive a complimentary ice cream,” added the FFF.
