France to wear green, no goal-line tech for Türkiye Nations League opener | OneFootball

France will wear their green away kit for Friday’s Nations League opener against Türkiye in Izmit at 20:45. VAR will be in use, but there will be no goal-line technology. It is also Zinédine Zidane’s first match in charge.

The federation announced that Kylian Mbappé and his team-mates will take the field in the light green strip.

German referee Felix Zwayer will take charge. Goal-line technology is not compulsory, its use depends on federations and stadium facilities.

The game is sold out, with 35,117 spectators expected, including 310 France supporters in the away section.

The shirt is inspired by the oxidised copper of the Statue of Liberty and was worn several times at this summer’s World Cup in the United States.
