According to RMC Sport, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the French team has won the favor of fans not only from France but from around the world. Supporters from Mexico, Colombia, and the United States have all praised the Deschamps-led French team.
When interviewing FIFA World Cup spectators in the United States, many fans described the French team as one of the strongest in the world today.
A Mexican fan wearing a vintage French team jersey said: "We came here to see these superstars. France has the best players in the world."
Some foreign fans supporting France have personal ties to the country. An American female fan, wearing a French team jersey with the French flag painted on her face, explained: "My husband is French, so I support the French team."
Beyond French supporters, many local American spectators are optimistic about France's chances of winning the championship.
One American fan stated confidently: "France is the clear favorite to win it all." He believes Deschamps has exceptional squad depth, capable of fielding "two complete starting lineups."
RMC Sport also spoke with a European football enthusiast and devoted Griezmann supporter: "I hope France wins the championship because Antoine Griezmann has always been my favorite player."
Although Griezmann has retired from international football, French players remain enormously popular globally.
A Mexican father, when asked which players his children admire, said: "They like Mbappé and Koundé."
Other fans highlighted Kanté, Olise, and Dembélé as among the world's best players.
Some fans were effusive in their praise: "France has the best attack, the best midfield, and the best defense in the world."
On Monday night local time, France will face Iraq in a FIFA World Cup group stage match. In addition to French supporters, these fans from around the world will continue cheering for "Les Bleus."
A French victory would secure a spot in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 in advance. The match also holds special significance for Mbappé—it will be his 100th appearance for the French national team.
