The captain of the French team Kylian Mbappé spoke about the 2026 World Cup and a new stage for the national team.

"A new era begins in the national team.

We are very happy that Zinedine Zidane is with us. We'll see what we can achieve. I think everyone expects a lot from us," said K. Mbappé.

"We are one of the best teams in the world, and everyone has seen that.

However, we need to polish the details to become the very best.

At the World Cup, we gained valuable experience. I believe we brought a lot of joy to fans around the world, but we did not achieve what we wanted. Nevertheless, I can’t say it was a failure," claimed K. Mbappé.
