France coach Didier Deschamps says FIFA has rejected France’s appeal regarding a yellow card shown to Michael Olise during the World Cup last-16 match against Paraguay. Deschamps made the disclosure ahead of France’s quarterfinal against Morocco. The decision means Olise’s yellow-card status is not changed as a result of the appeal. The report frames the outcome as a setback for France in the run-up to the next stage of the tournament, where disciplinary consequences can affect team selection and availability. No additional details about the specific grounds for the appeal or the precise regulations applied were provided in the reports. France therefore proceed to the quarterfinal with the disciplinary outcome remaining in force following FIFA’s ruling. The upcoming match against Morocco is positioned as the next major fixture in the tournament schedule.
