The World Cup is already tomorrow
Like men’s soccer in 2021-2022, women’s teams will see busy months ahead. In addition to this summer’s Euros, the World Cup is also looming. From July 20 to August 20, 2023, more precisely.

Last November, the former Clermont coach was pleased with the shared and emphatic ambition of “reaching the final” and “winning that first title. To hope to get there, Corinne Deacon can count on a group she’s been building for months or even years.” Unveiled on May 30, the menu includes a clever mix of taulières (Renard, Torrent, Peyraud-Magnin, …) and youth (Katuto, Baltimore, …), to which it will be necessary at any cost to add a cruelly absent osmosis. During the World Cup in France in 2019. ‘No surprises’ prepared by Corinne Deacon, but ‘choices’ were made to form the ‘most competitive team’ possible.
