Press review: 2026 World Cup rows and France Women at 2027 World Cup | OneFootball

This Wednesday, June 10, the French press (from a sporting point of view) did not focus on anything directly related to Paris Saint-Germain. On the other hand, there was coverage of the controversies surrounding the 2026 World Cup and the qualification of the French women’s national team for the 2027 World Cup.

It had been known for some time that this World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States would raise several issues. In particular, the heat, or accessibility for some people in the latter country. Unfortunately, there is no real surprise. Even if one could still hope there would not be such problems. Including the conflict with Iran, which is still unresolved. But there is no longer really any choice, short of a surprise strike. And the matches will still be followed passionately. We already saw with Qatar that the competition can somewhat overshadow the controversies. Even if the doubts surrounding the heat will be visible every time.

On the women’s side, the joy is clearer with this direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup after a difficult match and following the concerns of the last international break due to poor results against the Netherlands. Who ultimately finished 2nd and will go into the playoffs, while Ireland has been eliminated. It is a great performance for France, which will be expected at the World Cup. We hope the right formula will be found for the long campaign this talented squad gives reason to hope for.
