France has named its squad for the European Rugby League World Cup (RLWC) qualifiers, which will see them face off against Serbia, Ukraine, and Wales.
The winners of the tournament that will be held in France will see them advance to the World Series that will be played by the Cook Islands, Jamaica and South Africa.
The winner and runners-up from this tournament will then earn selection for the 2026 Men's Rugby League World Cup (RLWC).
The French squad includes several players from the Super League competition and will enter the tournament as favourites due to their experience and skill on its roster.
โWe are aware of the challenge that awaits us during this European Cup, and we have the clear and precise objective of getting closer to qualifying for the next World Cup,โ France head coach Laurent Frayssinous said.
โWe are all excited at the idea of the squad coming together, and we can't wait to start preparing together.โ
