In pictures: France, world champion, arrives in Qatar

World champions France landed at Hamad International Airport in Doha on Wednesday for the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament.

Ten members of the 2018 title-winning squad are back, including captain Hugo Lloris, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann.

But the defending champions, grouped with Australia, Denmark and Tunisia, are without first-choice midfield duo Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante.
