It will first be necessary to qualify even if the Blues, with two victories and a draw so far, are already at the top of group D of the qualifiers, with four points ahead of Ukraine, which they will regain. in Kiev from September 4.
Three days earlier, the French will have welcomed Bosnia and Herzegovina in Strasbourg. And a third match awaits them on September 7, against Finland in Lyon, before closing the qualifications in November 2021 with two matches on the program (against Kazakhstan and Finland).
