France national team coach Didier Deschamps has named his 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé leading the attacking line.
The announcement confirms Mbappé as the team’s captain and central figure, despite recent injury concerns, as France aim for another World Cup title in the United States, Canada
- Kylian Mbappé leads the attack and is expected to captain the side
- Ousmane Dembélé, the Ballon d’Or winner, is also a key forward option
- Rising stars like Rayan Cherki and Michael Olise included
- Veterans like N’Golo Kanté, Lucas Hernandez, and Théo Hernandez retained
Deschamps has kept a strong balance of experience and youth, with France still considered one of the tournament favourites after reaching the 2022 final and winning the 2018 World Cup.
France are expected to deploy a dynamic attack built around Mbappé’s pace and finishing, supported by Dembélé’s creativity and the new generation of attacking talents emerging from Europe’s top clubs.
