They arrived in scattered order, from all over Europe, where many were playing in the mid-season Cup of their Championship, and reached Finistère for the reunion with the French team. The selection is back in Brest, where it has only played one match in its history, a friendly won against Czechoslovakia in 1983 (97-87).

The Blues will host Croatia this Friday, before traveling to Tuzla to face Bosnia on Monday as part of qualifying for Euro 2025.
