France have confirmed two more international friendly matches in the run-up to the World Cup Finals. Raymond Domenech’s ‘Les Bleus’ are due to play both Mexico and Denmark in late May, just prior to the World Cup kicking-off in June next year.

France will host Mexico, who along with France were also chosen as one of the eight seeds in the World Cup finals, at the Stade de France in Paris on May 27th, the French Football Federation confirmed in a web-statement on Thursday.

France will then meet Denmark, who just failed to make the play-off’s to qualify for the finals in Germany, at the Stade Bollaert in Lens, four days later on the 31st of May.

Les Bleus have a third game scheduled on June 7th, but as yet, their opponents and possible venue are to be decided.

France begin their World Cup warm-up program with a friendly match against Slovakia on March 1st in the Stade de France in Paris.
