Two-time World Cup winners France kick their campaign off this evening with a tricky fixture against Senegal in New Jersey.
The French are currently second favourites to lift the trophy, so should secure top spot in Group I, though it is one of the tougher groups with Norway and Senegal standing in their way.
Senegal are appearing at their fourth World Cup and have a strong squad with attacking talent such as Sadio Mane, Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr backed up by a formidable defence including Kalidou Koulibaly, El Hadji Malick Diouf and more.
France get their World Cup underway.
