French President Emmanuel Macron to attend final of FIFA World Cup 2022

French President Emmanuel Macron will be in attendance for the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup at the Lusail Stadium. Lionel Messi’s Argentina is all set to lock horns with defending champions France in the final of the World Cup.

Speaking ahead of the final, Macron said he is backing the French team to prevail over Argentina in the final.

“I’m backing the France team and I think that the French are too,” said Macron.

The French President was also present for France’s win over Morocco in the semi-finals. Theo



Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani scored to help France overcome Morocco 2-0 at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Earlier, Macron had announced in advance that he would attend the semifinal and final if France qualified, just like he did during the previous World Cup won by the French in Russia in 2018.

France, who will feature in the final for the fourth time in the last seven tournaments, are aiming to become the first nation to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil in 1962. Then there is France's current coach and a World Cup winner as a player in 1998, Didier Deschamps.
