As France manager Didier Deschamps prepares to unveil his final World Cup squad tonight, it's time to test your knowledge of Les Bleus under his legendary leadership. The 57-year-old tactician, who has been at the helm since 2012, will announce the 2026 World Cup roster—his last before stepping down after the tournament. With a successor like Zinédine Zidane waiting in the wings, this marks the end of an era for French football.
Deschamps is no stranger to World Cup glory. As a player, he lifted the trophy in 1998, and as a manager, he repeated the feat in 2018. Now, he has a shot at making history again: if France wins in 2026, he would become only the second person—after Brazil's Pelé—to claim three World Cup titles. Les Bleus have been drawn into Group I alongside Senegal, Iraq, and Norway, with two warm-up friendlies against Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland before the big event.
Over his 14-year tenure, Deschamps has called up an incredible 130 players to wear France's iconic blue jersey. From seasoned stars to rising talents, each has contributed to the team's storied journey. So, how many can you name? Take our quiz and see if you can guess all 130 players who've been part of Deschamps' squad since 2012. It's a fun challenge for any football fan, especially as we gear up for what could be a historic World Cup campaign.
