France and Iraq are set for their first-ever competitive meeting.

The France national football team will aim to continue their title challenge of the tournament as they are set to face Iraq in a heavily contested Group I of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign at Philadelphia Stadium in Pennsylvania, USA.

France, a nation dubbed to win the entire edition, will arrive with massive expectations after excellent outings in the previous editions. France had a monumental start to the new campaign, securing a 3-1 win against African giants Senegal, guided by a brace by captain Kylian Mbappé.

Iraq, who are returning to the competition after 40 years, will hope to make a mark in the tournament and secure their first-ever World Cup points. They made an underwhelming start to the 2026 campaign, suffering a 4-1 defeat against Norway in their opening group fixture.
