On 2 June 2026, President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron visited the Centre National du Football de Clairefontaine. The visit occurred just days before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to begin in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The President met with the French women’s national team, which is preparing for two decisive qualification matches for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. He also spoke with the men’s team coaching staff, offering his support and that of the nation. After lunch with the squad, he conversed with students who won the ‘Foot à l’Ecole’ competition, who were at Clairefontaine for a 24‑hour experience alongside the national teams.
