France to face Brazil and Colombia in United States, staying at World Cup hotel | OneFootball

France will travel to the United States next week, facing Brazil in Boston on Thursday at 21:00, then Colombia in Washington on Sunday at 21:00.

According to L'Équipe, the squad will stay at the same Massachusetts hotel they will use at the World Cup, the Four Seasons in Boston, which will host them from 9 June ahead of the tournament scheduled for 11 June to 19 July.

The squad assembles at Clairefontaine on Monday at midday, then flies on Tuesday. They will spend two nights at the Four Seasons before heading to the United States capital on Thursday evening after the Brazil match.

Didier Deschamps’s side will not be able to train at Babson College, their summer base. FIFA is due to carry out work there and the pitches are not yet fit for use at a time of year when snow can still fall around Boston.

Their only session in Massachusetts is set for Wednesday at the training centre of New England Revolution, the city’s MLS club. The venue was selected by the promoter «Pitch», organiser of the tour.
