While waiting to discover the list of players selected for the Olympic Games, which will be announced at the end of the month by Thierry Henry (the exact date has not yet been decided), the French U23s now know their three opponents in preparation matches before the event. The former Gunner’s men will face Paraguay on July 4 in Bayonne, before returning to their base camp, near Aix-en-Provence. Then they will play two friendly matches in Toulon on July 11 and 17, against the Dominican Republic then against Japan.
The French Olympic team will enter the Olympic Games on July 24 against the United States at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, before playing Guinea in Nice (on the 27th) then returning to the Marseille city for the last match of the group A against New Zealand (30th).
