Unlike most of the national football teams in Europe, France is not working through the competitive gauntlet of Euro 2016 qualification this year. That's because the French national football team will be hosting next year's big UEFA European Championship, and has qualified automatically. As a result, the Tri-Colors don't have so much as one competitive fixture on the schedule in 2015. Instead, the soccer squad will spend 2015 playing a variety of friendly fixtures, against everyone from Portugal to England. Prepare for the fun, friendly action with a France new kit from Soccer Box.
In preparation for next year's Euro 2016 competition, France's kit manufacturer is already making the team's 2015 2016 kit designs available for purchase. At Soccer Box, we have several of these new jerseys in stock, including the teal blue training top, the plain white away shirt, and the France kids away kit 2015 2016. Get yourself, your kids, and your whole family involved in the football fun with these great new kit variations!
Friendly Fixtures
It's certainly nice for the Tri-Colors that they don't have to go through the 2016 European Championship qualifying competition. Without the pressure and stress of having to "make the cut," the French soccer squad can simply relax and wait for the summer of 2016 to roll around.
The concern in this, of course, is that the team could become rusty. Luckily for fans in the France new kit, the Tri-Colors have put together quite a busy schedule of friendly fixtures for 2015. The squad won't lack for play opportunities this year, and that fact should mean that they are completely prepared in 2016 when they compete for a Euro title in front of home audiences.
The France national football team have already played their first two friendlies of the year. On March 26th, they hosted Brazil for a home match at the Stade de France in Paris. The Tri-Colors got on the board first, with a goal from the young Raphael Varane. But the Brazilian away side brought their A-game, and after a flurry of goals from Oscar, Neymar, and Luis Gustavo, the French were left with a 1-3 loss.
Luckily, fans in the France kids away kit 2015 2016 or adult home shirt didn't have to be disappointed for too long. Just three days later, on March 29th, France hosted another home game friendly-this time against Denmark-and won 2-0.
Upcoming Matches
Players won't don the 2015 2016 France new kit again until June, but when they do, they'll test themselves against other Euro 2016 hopefuls. June 7th will bring a home game with Belgium, while June 13th will see the Tri-Colors playing their first away game of 2015-against Albania.
If you don't grab your France kids away kit 2015 2016 or adult training kit in time for those two matches, at least make sure you are all set for gear by the fall! The French national team has a full schedule for the autumn months, including games against Portugal (away, on September 4th), Serbia (home, on September 7th), Armenia (home, on October 8th), and Denmark again (away October 11th). The Tri-Colors will end their 2015 schedule with a November 16th away game against England.
Euro 2016
With any luck, France's seven-game schedule for the rest of the year will prepare the team to contend as one of the frontrunners in the 2016 European Championship. The French have won Euro twice in the past-first in 1984 (also when France last hosted), and second in 2000). With the home field advantage on their side again in 2016, it may just be the perfect opportunity for the Tri-Colors to clinch a third title at the big UEFA tournament. Needless to say, French football fans-kids and adults alike-are already counting the days until next June.
Only time will tell if the French national side will be a strong contender at Euro 2016. However, you can get ready for all the action now, by checking out the selection of France new kit designs at Soccer Box.
