Kylian Mbappe has been officially named as the new captain of the French men's national team.
The 24-year-old succeeds Hugo Lloris in the role following his retirement from international football.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward succeeds goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who retired from international soccer following the World Cup in Qatar.
Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris, 36, had been France captain for more than a decade.
Mbappé has become France’s biggest star having been part of the World Cup-winning team in 2018 as a teenager.
He has scored 36 goals in his 66 international appearances and became only the second player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final during France’s defeat to Argentina in Qatar last year.
He has been awarded the Golden Boot honor in the 2022 World Cup.
