The schedule for the international break

News

A number of international players from Paris Saint-Germain’s first team will be in action over the next ten days. Whether they’re looking to qualify for UEFA EURO 2024 or on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, here’s an overview of what’s in store for our globetrotting Rouge et Bleu (all times given in CET).

OUSMANE DEMBELE / LUCAS HERNANDEZ / RANDAL KOLO MUANI / KYLIAN MBAPPE / WARREN ZAIRE-EMERY - FRANCE

Having received his first-ever senior call-up to Les Bleus, young midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery will be alongside four of his Paris teammates as they host Gibraltar at 20:45 this Saturday in Nice, followed by a game away to Greece next Tuesday, also at 20:45. Both matches are UEFA EURO 2024 qualifiers, although France have already claimed top spot in their qualifying group and have thereby booked their place at next summer's tournament in Germany.

GONÇALO RAMOS / VITINHA - PORTUGAL

Vitinha's and Gonçalo Ramos's Portugal will also be playing the final two games of their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign over the international break. Similarly to France, A Seleção das Quinas are already certain of their place at next summer's tournament thanks to their eight wins from eight qualifiers, but Roberto Martínez's side still have to host Liechtenstein at 20:45 this Thursday and Iceland this Sunday, also at 20:45.

FABIAN RUIZ - SPAIN

Having also already made it through to next year's EURO, Fabián Ruiz's La Roja are set to play their final two qualifiers over the next few days: away to Cyprus at 18:00 this Thursday and at home to Georgia at 20:45 this Sunday.

GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA - ITALY

After losing 3-1 to England during the last international window, Gianluigi Donnarumma's Italy still have some work to do before they can attempt to retain their EURO crown next summer. Currently sitting three points behind Ukraine with a game in hand, Gli Azzurri have very little room for error as they prepare to welcome North Macedonia to Rome at 20:45 this Friday before an all-or-nothing clash with Ukraine themselves next Monday in Leverkusen, Germany, also at 20:45.

MILAN SKRINIAR - SLOVAKIA

The schedule for Milan Škriniar's Slovakia over the next few days starts with the visit of Iceland at 20:45 this Thursday before a trip to face Bosnia and Herzegovina this Sunday, also at 20:45. Currently second in their qualifying group behind the now untouchable Portugal, the Sokoli could still book their place at the EURO if they manage to get at least a draw across the two encounters.

ACHRAF HAKIMI - MOROCCO

Achraf Hakimi's Morocco were due to have two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers lined up over the international break, but their clash with Eritrea, which was initially set for 20:00 this Thursday in Agadir, was later cancelled due to the Red Sea Boys' withdrawal from World Cup qualifying. Les Lions de l'Atlas will still face Tanzania away next Tuesday at 20:00, however.

LEE KANG-IN - SOUTH KOREA

Lee Kang-in's South Korea will also be on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup over the next few days. Having been called up by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann, the Paris midfielder will face Singapore in Seoul this Thursday before heading to China with his teammates for a clash on Matchday 2 of the second round of Asian-section qualifying in Shenzhen next Tuesday.

MARQUINHOS - BRAZIL

Two big games lie in wait for Brazil over the November break, again in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying, as Marquinhos and co. will start by facing Colombia in Barranquilla at 01:30 this Friday before welcoming rivals Argentina to Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã at 01:00 next Wednesday. A Seleção are currently third in the CONMEBOL qualifying standings.

MANUEL UGARTE - URUGUAY

Manuel Ugarte's Uruguay will also cross paths with Argentina this week, when they face the reigning world champions at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires this Friday. La Celeste will then welcome Bolivia to Montevideo next Wednesday.

BRADLEY BARCOLA - FRANCE U21

With Thierry Henry now at the helm, France's U21s are set to continue their 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign this week, as Bradley Barcola and co. take on Austria at 20:30 this Friday in Ried im Innkreis. Les Bleuets will then welcome their South Korean counterparts to Le Havre's Stade Océane for a friendly at 18:30 next Monday.

CHER NDOUR - ITALY U21

Cher Ndour's Azzurrini have two away games ahead of them over the next few days, as they face San Marino at 18:30 this Thursday in Serravalle and then the Republic of Ireland, also at 18:30, next Tuesday in Cork, with both matches coming as part of 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying.
