Tonight, France faces Côte d'Ivoire in Nantes for a warm-up match ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

For this clash, Didier Deschamps fields a near full-strength starting XI. Konaté steps in for Arsenal's central defender, while Cherki and Thuram are preferred to Barcola, Doué, and Dembélé, rounding out an attacking sector where Olise will operate just behind Mbappé.

On the other side, Emerse Faé will have to do without Ndicka. The line-ups:

France: Maignan - Koundé, Upamecano, Konaté, T. Hernandez - Tchouaméni, Rabiot - Cherki, Olise, Thuram - Mbappé (c).

Côte d'Ivoire: Y. Fofana - G. Doué, Singo, Agbadou, Konan - Adingra, Kessié (c), S. Fofana, Y. Diomandé - Diakité, Wahi.
