France have officially named their 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, and as the reigning runners-up and 2018 champions, Les Bleus are once again being tipped as title favorites. Didier Deschamps confirmed the roster this Thursday, setting the stage for a tournament that will be co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

There are a few talking points that have fans buzzing. Lens goalkeeper Robin Risser has earned the nod, taking the spot previously held by PSG's Chevalier. The biggest surprise? Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga is notably absent—a decision that has raised eyebrows across the football world. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace duo Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta have been called up as surprise inclusions, adding fresh energy to the squad.

Injury has played its part in shaping this roster. Liverpool's Hugo Ekitiké was ruled out after rupturing his Achilles tendon in April, a tough blow for the young striker. But there's good news: Kylian Mbappé, back from injury and included in Real Madrid's squad for their clash against Oviedo, leads the list. He's joined by several standout PSG players, giving the squad a familiar, star-studded feel.

One interesting detail: the only player in the squad not plying his trade at a European club is left-back Theo Hernández, who now plays for Saudi side Al-Hilal. And among the rest, only N'Golo Kanté—now at Fenerbahçe—doesn't play in one of Europe's top five leagues. It's a squad that blends experience with fresh faces, all under the guidance of a World Cup-winning manager.

France have been drawn into Group I alongside Norway, Senegal, and Iraq. Their campaign kicks off on June 16 against Sadio Mané's Senegal at MetLife Stadium. Then it's Iraq on June 22 at Lincoln Financial Field, before a highly anticipated clash against Erling Haaland's Norway four days later at Gillette Stadium.

So, what do you think? Are two-time world champions France among the top three favorites for the title? Check out the full squad below and have your say—because with this lineup, Les Bleus are ready to make a serious run.
