The jersey numbers allocated to the players of the France team for Euro 2024 were revealed this Friday.
Nearly two weeks before the launch of Euro 2024 organized from June 14 to July 14, the players of the France team know which number each of them will have behind their back. This Friday, the Blues officially communicated on the subject. Most players will continue to wear their usual number, while some others will be entitled to a little change. And to tell the truth, it is only Ibrahima Konaté who is concerned. The fault is N’Golo Kanté who recovers on the 13th.
A number well known to the Al-Ittihad midfielder since it is the one he wore during the world title won in 2018 with the Blues. And as it is tradition in the France group, that a number worn during a world title remains with the one who had it at that time, Kanté has therefore recovered his famous 13. As a result, it will be the 24 for Konate. As for Bradley Barcola, new addition to Didier Deschamps’ list, he will be entitled to 25.
The right numbers
For the rest, no surprise with the 16 for Mike Maignan while Brice Samba will have the number 1 and Alphonse Areola, the 23. In defense, Benjamin Pavard will wear the 2, while Ferland Mendy will have the 3 and Dayot Upamecano the 4. middle, it’s still number 19 for Youssouf Fofana and number 8 for Aurélien Tchouaméni, when Kingsley Coman will play with number 20.
Finally, no more changes ahead since Kylian Mbappé clings to his number 10, Antoine Griezmann at 7 and Olivier Giroud at 9. Ousmane Dembélé will wear number 11. While waiting to start the Euro on June 17 against Austria, the Blues will play a preparation match in Metz on June 5 against Luxembourg, then finish their warm-up with a friendly match against Canada on June 9.
