The French national team has officially arrived in Baku, kicking off their final preparations for Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan. Les Bleus landed on Saturday afternoon and headed straight into match-week mode, with a scheduled press conference set to take place at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium later in the day.
The squad, led by Didier Deschamps, looked focused but relaxed as they stepped off the plane, with fans and media already gathering to catch a glimpse of the stars. Security was tight, and the atmosphere around the team hotel quickly turned electric.
France will hold their official pre-match training session after speaking to the media, walking the pitch that will host Sunday night’s showdown. For Azerbaijan, it’s a chance to test themselves against football royalty.
Kickoff is set for Sunday, and Baku is ready. The world will be watching.
