France hits back at former Spanish PM's claim about national team players
Former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is under fire for suggesting that the French squad lacks actual French players, just before the FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final between France and Spain. In response, the French embassy in Spain stated, "All the players on the French national team are French." The embassy further clarified that 23 of the 26 squad members were born in France, and the remaining three who were born outside the country are also French citizens.
