France U21 Kick Off Euro 2025 Qualifiers with Match Against Estonia

The French U21 football team, known as the Bleuets, has started its qualification campaign for the UEFA U21 Euro 2025 with a match against Estonia held at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble. Coming off a solid 3-0 win over Serbia, the team enters the competition confident and aiming to secure a strong footing early in the qualifiers. Estonia arrives at the fixture struggling, having earned just one point from three matches, including losses against the Faroe Islands and Switzerland and a draw with Iceland.

Prominent young talents such as Warren Zaïre-Emery, recently reintegrated into the U21 setup, Leny Yoro, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Djaoui Cissé, and Eli Junior Kroupi, all from notable clubs, strengthen the French squad. The match, played on October 13, was broadcast on Twitch and YouTube by streamer Zack Nani, making it widely accessible to fans eager to follow the team’s progress.

The Bleuets are favored to win but are cautioned to avoid complacency against an Estonian side looking to improve their standing. This qualifier marks France’s delayed start to Euro qualification following their previous Euro semi-final appearance, underscoring the team's quality and high expectations moving forward.
