France will face the loser of the Argentina-England semifinal in the World Cup third place match at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on July 18. If you're eager to see Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise, and Ousmane Dembélé in action one last time, last-minute tickets are now available.
Didier Deschamps' France team has had a successful campaign, beating Senegal, Iraq, and Norway in the group stage, and then shutting out Sweden, Paraguay, and Morocco in the knockout rounds. The team's next match will be a third place skirmish in Miami, a bittersweet finale to their World Cup efforts. Deschamps' 14-year tenure as France's head coach will come to an end after this match, as he'll be replaced by Les Bleus legend Zinedine Zidane in the spring.
The loss to Spain, which sent France to the third place match, was a surprising turn of events. France had been considered one of the top contenders for the World Cup title, but their 2-0 loss to Spain's Lamine Yamal's team has relegated them to a less coveted position. Despite this, fans of Les Bleus have a lot to be proud of from their team's 2026 World Cup efforts.

Alternatively, if Lionel Messi and Argentina fall, the match could be a revenge game for France against Messi and co. Either way, the match is sure to be an exciting conclusion to France's wildly successful campaign.
