France, considered strong contenders in the World Cup, begins its campaign in Group I against Senegal. The match will be broadcast live on TSports, BTV, and Somoy TV. Scheduled for 1 AM Bangladesh time on Tuesday, June 16th, the game takes place in New Jersey. Despite being the clear favorites on paper, the upcoming clash evokes memories of the 2002 World Cup, where Senegal famously defeated France in the tournament’s opening match. This historical upset adds significant weight to the fixture. The French team, led by Kylian Mbappé, will be aiming to avoid a repeat of that shocking result and start their World Cup journey with a win. Senegal will undoubtedly be motivated to recreate their 2002 success.
