France face Sweden in the Round of 32 at the World Cup, with the knockout tie scheduled for Tuesday, June 30 at New York New Jersey Stadium.
Kick-off is set for 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, midnight Wednesday in Cairo, with beIN Sports expected to carry the match in the Middle East and North Africa according to its official broadcast schedule.
France enter the game after a dominant group stage in which they took maximum points and scored ten goals, while Sweden will look to use the unpredictable nature of knockout football.
Marcus Thuram is unavailable for France through injury, while N'Golo Kante's condition remains under assessment, making Didier Deschamps' midfield and defensive choices especially important.
Sweden possess enough attacking quality to create problems, particularly in transitions and set pieces, making this a serious test of France's ability to balance attacking power with defensive control.
