They’d rather be heading to the World Cup Final in New Jersey, but regardless, the France national soccer team departed Boston for the last time this week and moved out of the Four Seasons Hotel they’ve called home since early June.
The team shared a video Thursday of players and hotel staff coming together for a final goodbye, with star Kylian Mbappé applauding in the comments.
Instead of nearby New York, France is heading to Miami to face England on Saturday in the match to determine third place, as they fell to Spain 2-0 in the semis.
The team also shared a video and photos of players leaving the hotel.
Les Bleus had reportedly rented out the entire hotel, and when they moved in, they shared images of the players’ rooms, including personalized posters. While staying in Boston, the team practiced at Bentley University in Waltham.
