Group F schedule, results, standings
Renard has confirmed his final 23-player squad for the 2023 FIFA World Cup. Amadine Henry was a late withdrawal due to injury, and was replaced by Aissatou Tounkara.
Renard has taken charge of two games so far for France, beating Colombia and Canada 5-2 and 2-1 respectively. Fans were disappointed during the last European Championships as they failed to reach the final, but it seems like they have regained their goalscoring form.
Grace Geyoro picked up seven direct goal contributions in eight World Cup qualifying matches and has also scored in both games since Renard has been at the helm.
Captain Wendie Renard is one of the most important players in this time as she is not only the anchor in defence, but she is also a threat from set-pieces for France.
Eugenie Le Sommer, who has already got five World Cup goals to her name, is also entering the tournament in fine form as the French look to go all the way this summer.
The main weakness for France could be their unfamiliarity with Renard's tactics due to his short time in charge of the team. Although he still plays with a 4-3-3 formation, but demands a lot from his wide players.
