France will integrate Group F with Hungary, Germany and Portugal (the current champions of the tournament), while their last rival, Bulgaria, did not qualify for the tournament that was postponed last year due to the covid-19 pandemic and that will start on Friday at the Olympic Stadium in Rome with the duel that Italy and Turkey will cheer on.
