The French Federation demands an extra effort from FIFA in prizes while the team, led by Mbappé, negotiates bonuses. After losing to Ivory Coast, Les Bleus face challenges in Boston against Senegal.

Challenges for Les Bleus

France started its World Cup preparation with a home defeat against Ivory Coast (1-2), including an African comeback. The French squad is getting ready to face Senegal on the 13th in Boston, with the return of the Champions League-winning PSG players.

Philippe Diallo's Negotiations

The president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, leads negotiations with both the team, spearheaded by Mbappé, to set bonuses and tickets for family members, as well as with FIFA. Diallo advocates for an increase in prizes to avoid losses, considering that the World Cup could cost France 24.4 million euros.
