Michael Olise delivered a stunning hat-trick as France cruised to a 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland in their final preparation match ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, played in Lille.

The Bayern Munich forward was the undisputed star of the evening, netting all three of France's goals and underlining his importance to Didier Deschamps' squad as the tournament draws near.

The result sends France into the FIFA World Cup 2026 on a high note, with Olise's clinical display giving the squad a timely boost in confidence ahead of what promises to be a fiercely contested competition.

Northern Ireland gave a spirited showing and pulled one back, but Olise's brilliance proved too much for them to overcome on the night in Lille.

For France, the victory caps a preparation period that will have pleased the coaching staff — Olise, in particular, announced himself as a player in the finest of form heading into the global showpiece.
