Players

French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.

First team squad

As of 2 February 2016[1]

Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.

gollark: You have to charge them all the time, and voice control is annoying and imprecise.

gollark: I mean, calculator watches are vaguely impractical, smartwatch bad, and automatic time sync is good but not that interesting.

gollark: What other features do you *want*?

gollark: I don't know. I'd have to check my notes.

gollark: I agree.
