The last game of the 2022 World Cupwill be played on Sunday, December 18, at the Lusail Stadium.When France faceSouth American powerhouse Argentina in the Grand Final in Qatar, Les Blues will be eager to defend the crown they won four years ago in Russia.

As a star-studded squad, they were hopeful for a deep tournament run, but they knew they had to be careful of the previous tendency of tournament champions failing to advance out of their group. Injuries had plagued them in the lead-up to the competition, and they had little chance of winning.

With just one victory in their previous six games, Didier Deschamps’ squad entered the 2022 World Cup hoping his players would find their form in time for the Knockout Round in Qatar. The French, however, won their group and advanced to the next round, where they would ultimately overcome Australia, Poland, England, and Morocco en route to the championship match.

France’s national team is aiming to defend their World Cup title.

If they do, they will join a small club of nations that includes Brazil and Italy.

For Qatar 2022, the Knockout Round consists of one-game playoffs. Therefore, there is no opportunity to win the series by taking game two.
