Mateta on social media

Thank you all for your support throughout the FIFA World Cup.

Of course, we had hoped to go further and bring home the trophy. The disappointment is immense, but the pride in wearing this jersey and representing France is equally strong.

Thanks to all the fans who followed us, cheered us on, and pushed us to the very end.

Also, thank you to the head coach and the entire coaching staff for their trust in us.

This is just one stage, and we will continue to work hard to come back stronger.

See you soon. 🇫🇷💙
