France were on Friday drawn against Croatia in the quarter-finals of the Uefa Nations League. The 2021 champions will play the first leg in Croatia on 20 March with the return leg three days later in France.

Should France emerge victorious, Didier Deschamps' men will play the winners of the tie between the Netherlands and the defending champions Spain.

In the other quarter-finals, Denmark take on Portugal and Italy face Germany.

The semi-finals will take place on 4 and 5 June, with the match for third place and final to follow on 8 June.

Following a disappointing exit at the 2024 European championships, France finished top of their Nations League pool with 13 points.

Croatia, who France beat to claim the 2018 World Cup, came second in their group.
