Watch out for the trap match. The France team faces the Czech Republic this Thursday in Oslo, Norway (which co-organizes the tournament with Denmark and Sweden), for its entry into the Euro 2026 handball tournament. A confrontation not to be taken lightly for Guillaume Gille’s players, defending champions in the competition.
In a very tough Group C with Norway and Ukraine, the Blues must not leave any points on the way to begin as best as possible the defense of their crown, won in 2024. A confrontation against the Czechs in which Nedim Remili will not take part: the center-half, victim of an injury to the left calf, will not participate in the continental tournament. Gille chose to reintegrate Aix en Provence left-back Aymeric Zaepfel (3 caps) into the group.
Kick-off for the France-Czech Republic match is scheduled for 6 p.m. this Thursday, January 15. The meeting will be followed on television on beIN Sports 1.
