Every time the French national team assembles, social media buzzes with excitement over the players’ bold fashion choices. This time, the spotlight was on center-back Ibrahima Konate, who made the biggest splash with his eye-catching outfit.

Jules Kounde, once known for his quirky attire, has been overtaken as France’s “most eccentric dresser.” The attention this time was on Konate, who turned heads upon arriving at Clairefontaine wearing a striking banana-green veil.

As the Liverpool defender stepped out of the taxi, reporters were taken aback, cameras fixated on him as he resembled a bank robber. “Show us!” the reporters called. Laughing, Konate unzipped his veil, saying, “It’s me, don’t you recognize me?”

Konate was also the first player to arrive at Clairefontaine. This training session was missing key figures like Antoine Griezmann, who recently retired from international duty, Kylian Mbappe, sidelined with physical issues, and Dayot Upamecano, who is injured.

France is set to play two matches in the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League, with an away game against Israel on October 10, followed by a match against Belgium four days later.

Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the standout fashion choices of the French national team stars at this “Clairefontaine fashion week.”
