France are in town, and the world No 5-ranked outfit are feeling confident.
Former France captain Amandine Henry was included in coach Herve Renard's provisional 26-player squad for the Women's World Cup, returning to the international set-up after a two-year absence.
Herve Renard has emphasized the importance of team spirit since taking over as coach of the French women's team and the squad will benefit from his drive and determination heading into the World Cup, midfielder Amel Majri said.
Renard, who led Saudi Arabia's men at the World Cup in Qatar last year, took over from Corinne Diacre last month after she was forced out following a revolt from her players about her methods.
Herve Renard called for unity after naming captain Wendie Renard in his first squad as France manager, weeks after the defender announced she was stepping away from international football. Renard was appointed as the new France women’s manager on Thursday after ending his contract with the Saudi Arabia men’s team, who he led to the World Cup in Qatar last year.
Former France captain Wendie Renard and all-time leading goal scorer Eugenie Le Sommer have been recalled to the national team for international friendlies in the build-up to this year's World Cup.
Herve Renard has been appointed to lead the France women’s team at the Women’s World Cup after stepping down from his role as manager of Saudi Arabia. France were looking for a new boss after sacking Corinne Diacre just four months before the tournament kicks off.
The 54-year-old Frenchman resigned as coach of the Saudi Arabia men's team this week after leading them to last year's World Cup in Qatar where they pulled off a shock group-stage win over eventual champions Argentina.
