[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, the French Football Federation’s tribute ceremony for Antoine Griezmann may be postponed until the first international match day of 2026, or even after the World Cup. Since announcing his retirement from the national team in September 2024, Griezmann has yet to receive an official tribute from the French Football Federation (FFF). Unlike Olivier Giroud, the Atletico Madrid forward has not been honored in front of French fans. Ahead of France’s home match against Croatia in March, the FFF had planned to pay tribute to both Griezmann and Giroud, but the former was unable to attend. Despite this, the FFF has not abandoned the idea of holding a tribute ceremony for the veteran star. They hope to hold the ceremony at the Stade de France, though the French national team currently plays their matches at the Parc des Princes. In the coming months, the French national team is expected to establish a Hall of Fame, and Griezmann is likely to be inducted, though specific criteria are still under discussion. Despite a complicated final phase with the national team, Griezmann remains an iconic figure for France. He made 137 appearances for the national team, scoring 44 goals, leaving his mark.
