The New York Red Bulls' Anatole Abang is in Nantes with his national team as Cameroon ready for the considerable challenge of taking on a France side gearing up for what is expected to be a serious challenge for the Euro 2016 title.
Les Bleus will contest UEFA's biggest international tournament on home soil with the hope that a star-studded squad (including Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann, and Andre-Pierre Gignac) can unite to produce something greater than the sum of its parts: a major international trophy.
Cameroon is also using this friendly to prepare itself for more important matters: the team travels to Mauritania after this game for a potentially decisive match in both sides' 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaigns.
