Men's football•25 Mar 2026 12:30

Several Paris Saint-Germain players have been called up by their respective national teams - here's a look at the matches awaiting our Les Rouge et Bleu around the world during the international break.

Lucas Chevalier / Lucas Hernandez / Warren Zaïre-Emery / Ousmane Dembélé / Désiré Doué - France

Didier Deschamps' Les Bleus are off on a tour of the United States, with two friendlies scheduled. The first of these will take place in Boston, with a classic against Marquinhos' Brazil on Thursday 26 March at 21:00 (French time). The two sides have not faced each other since another friendly, in 2015, when the Seleção won 1-3 at the Stade de France.

On Sunday 29 March, also at 21:00 (French time), France take on Colombia at the Northwest Stadium in Landover, near Washington. This is an opportunity for the coach to carry out a number of tests, less than three months before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Nuno Mendes / João Neves / Vitinha / Gonçalo Ramos - Portugal

The Portuguese will also be touring North America, kicking off with a prestigious clash against upcoming World Cup hosts Mexico at the legendary Estadio Azteca on 29 March (03:00). On 1 April at 01:00, the Seleção das Quinas will take on another World Cup host - the United States - at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the venue for an explosive Club World Cup quarter-final between Paris and Bayern Munich less than a year ago.

Illia Zabarnyi - Ukraine

Illia will be facing a tough challenge over the next few days as Ukraine look to secure qualification for the World Cup. To do so, they will have to beat Sweden in the play-offs on Thursday 26 March at 20:45, on neutral ground in Valencia. If they win, the Ukrainians will play for their place in the World Cup against Poland or Albania on 31 March at 20:45.

Marquinhos - Brazil

The Paris captain has been called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the match against Les Bleus in Boston on 26 March. Brazil will then take on Croatia on 1 April in Orlando, in what is sure to be a highly anticipated rematch of the 2022 World Cup quarter-final, won on penalties by Luka Modric and his team-mates (1-1 a.e.t. 4-2 on pens.). A great way to get into the swing of things before the World Cup in June.

Achraf Hakimi - Morocco

Morocco, who are in Brazil's group for the World Cup, also have two friendlies to play during this international break. The first is against Willian Pacho's Ecuador at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on 27 March at 21:15. At 21:00 on 31 March, the Atlas Lions take on Paraguay at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

Willian Pacho - Ecuador

Willian Pacho and Ecuador will face Achraf Hakimi's Morocco in Madrid on Friday 27 March at 21:15, before taking on another side who have qualified for the World Cup - the Netherlands - in Eindhoven on 31 March. These two friendlies will serve as preparation for the World Cup, where Ecuador have been drawn in the same group as Germany, Côte d'Ivoire and Curacao.

Lee Kang-In - South Korea

South Korea, who have also qualified for the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada, will be visiting Europe during this break. On the programme are two friendly matches, the first in England against Côte d'Ivoire on 28 March at 15:00, and the second against Austria in Vienna on 31 March at 20:45.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Georgia

The Paris winger, who was in fine form before the winter break, has been named captain of his team for this gathering, which will see Georgia take on Israel in Tbilisi on Thursday 26 March at 18:00, followed by Lithuania on Sunday 29 March at 15:00.

Ibrahim Mbaye - Senegal

The Parisian youth academy graduate has been called up by coach Pape Thiaw for Senegal's two upcoming friendlies. The first, against Peru, will take place at the Stade de France on Saturday 28 March at 17:00. On 31 March, the Lions of Teranga take on the Gambia in Diamniadio.

Matvey Safonov - Russia

Our goalkeeper will play two friendly matches with Russia. The Sbornaïa will take on Nicaragua on 27 March at 17:30, then Mali four days later at 19:00.

Dro Fernandez - Spain U18

Having just scored his first goal for Paris, Dro Fernandez has been called up to the Spain U18 squad for the first qualifying round of Euro U19 2027 in Croatia. The young Spaniards will face the host country on 25 March at 15:30, England on 28 March at 12:00 and Bulgaria on 31 March at 14:45. Access to the second qualifying round in the autumn is reserved for the teams ranked in the top three places in the group.
