Pablo Pagis earns first France call-up after strong start with Paris FC

Pablo Pagis, 23, has received his first call-up to the France national soccer team. The Paris FC playmaker's selection follows his impressive performances after transferring from FC Lorient, contributing to his club with two goals and two assists in ten Ligue 1 matches. While Pagis did not expect this opportunity to come so soon, he was aware of his place in the expanded squad. He aims to make the most of his chance with the national team as they prepare to face Italy and Turkiye in the UEFA Nations League. His call-up comes amid injuries to key players such as Ousmane Dembélé and Maghnes Akliouche.
