The former Swiss international goalkeeper, Gaëlle Thalmann, had a heavy hand for Hervé Renard’s French women’s football team, which inherits the English title holders from Sarina Wiegman, the Swedish Olympic vice-champions and the Republic of Ireland for their Euro 2025 qualifying group (July 2-27).
A second blow to the head of the French women, six days after their defeat in the final of the Nations League (2-0) against another great nation in women’s football, Spain.
“This new system of qualifications via the Nations League groups promised us high-level posters whatever the draw,” underlined Hervé Renard. This is done with this A3 group in which we will face the English, reigning European champions and world vice-champions, the Swedes, Olympic vice-champions, and the Republic of Ireland. It’s a big challenge that awaits us to try to obtain this qualification before the start of the Olympic Games. Qualifying for Euro 2025 is obviously a major objective of our season and we can’t wait to start this campaign in less than a month. »
The first playoff matches will take place between April 3 and July 16.
