France vs Senegal is a group-stage match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 07:00 PM UTC at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford.
Opening match of the "Group of Death" — Group I has the toughest average FIFA ranking (25.75). MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, 3pm ET / 9pm Vienna time. France's first WC match in Didier Deschamps' farewell mission — he steps down after the tournament.
France under Deschamps are pragmatic and results-oriented. The 4-3-3 can morph into a compact 4-5-1 under pressure. Mbappé (27, Real Madrid) as captain and the transition-game key — closing in on France's all-time scoring record.
Senegal under Pape Thiaw (since December 2024) are physically strong and technically sharp. Kalidou Koulibaly (Al-Hilal) leads from the back, Sadio Mané as the figurehead, Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) up front. Senegal reached the R16 in 2022.
