- On Monday, substitute Michael Olise scored a stunning late winner, securing a 1-0 UEFA Nations League victory for France over Belgium at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
- With Kylian Mbappe sidelined by a knee injury sustained against Turkey on Friday, manager Zinedine Zidane fielded a revamped lineup for his second Nations League match.

- Following this win, Zizou maintains a 2-0 record in his first year at the helm, having replaced former manager Didier Deschamps this summer.
