The French team led by Hervé Renard is at the gates of the last four of the Women’s World Cup which takes place in Australia and New Zealand. But to reach the semi-finals of the competition, the Blues will have to push the Australian selection out of their way this Saturday, August 12 in Brisbane. The kick-off of the meeting will be given at 9 am and the match will be broadcast live on France 2 but also on the Figaro.fr website.
Despite their big victory in the round of 16 against Morocco, Les Bleues will not necessarily start as favorites in this shock against the players from the Antipodes who will benefit from the support of their public in a stadium in Brisbane which will be sold out with 50,000 spectators.
The two selections had crossed swords on July 14 in a friendly preparatory match before the World Cup and the Australians won 1-0 in Melbourne after a balanced but closed match, thanks to a goal from Foxler (66th).
Since 2023, a total of four matches have taken place between the two teams and the advantage remains with France despite the recent confrontation to the advantage of the Wallabies. Les Bleues won in 2018 (2-0), 2014 (3-2) and 2013 (2-0).
