The level increases. After facing the modest Italians in the opening match of the 2026 Winter Olympics, the French women’s field hockey team faces a bigger challenge this Friday, February 6. Les Bleues face Japan, which is in 8th place in the world, seven places ahead of France.
The French women must, however, get used to this level for their first Olympics since they will then challenge Sweden (7th) and Germany (9th) to close this group phase. A very tough schedule on the road to the quarter-finals, which would be an exceptional outcome for the Blues.
The second match of the French women’s ice hockey team at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina can be followed this Friday from 12:10 p.m. on Eurosport 2 and France 4/France 3.
