World Cup 2026: They’re above others – Wenger names country to win trophy

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has named France as the favourites to win the World Cup this year.

Wenger believes Didier Deschamps’ side is above all other teams in the tournament.

“I put them above the others. France have so much talent, and Deschamps has experience,” Wenger told Le Figaro when speaking about the favourites to win the World Cup.

“We have so many attacking players that the danger is being a little unbalanced offensively.

“But today, the modern player, even an attacking one, knows how to do his share of the defensive work.

“When you’re 0-0 against France with 20 minutes to go, you lose the match. Power makes the difference.”

France won the 2018 World Cup, but failed to win it in 2022 after losing the final against Argentina.
