Overview

• Laurent Bonadei named a 24-player squad for the Nations League matches against Switzerland and Iceland, excluding veterans Wendie Renard, Eugénie Le Sommer, and Kenza Dali.
• Bonadei cited a strategic shift aimed at achieving different results, quoting Einstein to emphasize the need for change in team dynamics.
• The decision follows recurring injuries that sidelined the three players during recent camps, casting doubt on their participation in Euro 2025.
• Notable inclusions in the revamped squad are younger players such as Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sakina Karchaoui, reflecting a focus on renewal.
• France, already qualified for the Nations League Final Four, will use these matches to prepare for the UEFA Women’s Euro starting in July 2025.
