France's national football team, Les Bleus, is set to begin its World Cup campaign with an upcoming match against Senegal on Tuesday. The French team will be vying for its third World Cup title in the tournament.
The fixture revisits a significant historical event from 24 years prior, when Senegal, known as the Lions of Teranga, notably defeated France in the 2002 World Cup. That upset contributed to France's early exit during the group stage and triggered celebratory events in Dakar.
France is reportedly cautious of its status as favorites heading into the game. Senegal is anticipated to seek a repetition of their 2002 performance against Les Bleus.
