Les Bleues will not stay at Clairefontaine as they prepare for 2027 World Cup qualifiers in Poland and against Ireland.

According to L'Équipe, the men's national team are already at Clairefontaine for their World Cup build-up from 11 June to 19 July. Laurent Bonadei's squad will instead use a hotel in Rambouillet from Monday.

They will continue to train at the FFF complex in the meantime.

A joint get-together is scheduled for Tuesday evening between the two France squads.

The team are due to fly to Gdansk, Poland, on Wednesday. Bonadei said they weighed relocating to begin in Poland or staying near Clairefontaine and using the facilities while lodging off site, and judged the latter preferable as not all conditions were met in Poland and it allowed an exchange with the men's team.
