Held as part of the “Road to 26” series of friendlies in the U.S., France vs Colombia will be played at Landover’s Northwest Stadium, the home of NFL franchise the Washington Commanders.

France vs Colombia: international friendly preview

As France gear up for this summer’s bid to win a third world title, Didier Deschamps’ men claimed a prestige victory on Thursday, goals by Kylian Mbappé and Hugo Ekitiké earning a 2-1 win over Brazil in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Mbappé’s first-half finish moved the Real Madrid star to within a goal of equalling the French men’s team’s scoring record, held by Olivier Giroud with 57.

Now on a run of eight games without defeat, the French face a Colombia team that won the nations’ previous meeting.

In March 2018, four months before France lifted the World Cup in Russia, Colombia came from two goals down to triumph 3-2 in a Paris friendly, thanks to strikes by Luis Muriel, Radamel Falcao and Juan Fernando Quintero. That was the teams’ fifth meeting; France currently lead the series 3-2.

The Colombians, who are preparing to make their World Cup return after missing out on Qatar 2022, head to Maryland on the back of a 2-1 friendly defeat to Croatia on Thursday. Jhon Arias gave Los Cafeteros the lead in Orlando, Florida, only for Luka Vuskovic and Igor Matanovic to secure a come-from-behind win for the Croats.
