French teams at Lido delle Nazioni

The junior tournament brought together the French U17 men’s and women’s selections for several days of competition, according to the FFFA.

The federation described the event as an opportunity for competition and learning. Its report identifies the men’s team’s final position as sixth in a field of ten.

Women’s result not stated in the report excerpt

Although the FFFA says two French selections represented the country, the supplied article excerpt does not state the women’s team’s final ranking. No placing or game result for that side can therefore be confirmed from the information available.

Event date

The FFFA source is dated 28 September 2026. It does not specify the dates on which the championships themselves were held.

The confirmed result in the FFFA’s account is sixth place for France’s U17 men among ten teams at the European Junior flag championships in Italy.
