Kylian Mbappé will be leading France into its Group I matchup of the FIFA World Cup 2026 with Iraq on Tuesday at the Philadelphia Stadium in the United States.
France opened their World Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory against Senegal with Mbappé scoring twice in the match.
Ranked 57th in the world, Iraq are appearing at their first World Cup since 1986 after coming through an exhausting qualifying campaign that took in 21 matches, culminating in the intercontinental play-offs in Mexico in March.
Their campaign in the United States did not get off to a good start, though, as they went down 4-1 to Erling Haaland’s Norway in Boston.
