Here is a comprehensive piece gathering information on the 2020 Tournoi de France broadcast rights holders, broadcasting channels, fixtures and participating teams' rosters.

What is the Tournoi de France?

The Tournoi de France is a new invitational women's football tournament that will be held from March 4 to 10 in the cities of Calais and Valenciennes.

Like the SheBelieves Cup, the Tournoi de France invites three nations to make up a four-team tournament in which each team plays one another once. After three matchdays, the team with the most points lifts the cup.

The rules for classification go in the order as listed: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) goals scored; 4) head-to-head result; 5) FIFA ranking.

What teams are participating in the 2020 Tournoi de France?

Netherlands – FIFA Ranking: 3rd

The Oranje Leeuwinnen became the most improved national team toward the end of the past decade. 

It all started in 2015 when the Dutch reached the round-of-16 in their first FIFA Women's World Cup appearance. In 2017, the Netherlands went on to claim the UEFA Women's Championship winning all its matches in home soil and dethroning a seemingly unbeatable Germany. The Algarve Cup was their achievement winning it in 2018. And the buildup of good results, football and perseverance saw the Netherlands finish second to the UWNT in France 2019.

The Orange Lionesses will take this cup seriously as they are gearing up for their first Olympic Games in their history.

France – FIFA Ranking: 4th

The host nation has a lot to prove after getting knocked out of the FIFA Women's World Cup quarter-finals as hosts.

The French arrive at this tournament with nothing to look forward to in the year 2020 as they failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. In fact, France is the only country in this tournament that will not be traveling to Japan this July. To be fair, getting matched up with the best team in the world as a host nation of a World Cup is a bit unlucky. England, the Netherlands and Sweden placed better at the WWC.

Anyhow, Corinne Diacre has summoned a strong roster and will look to win the first edition of the Tournoi de France.

Canada – FIFA Ranking: 8th 

The Canadian national team suffered yet another Concacaf Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament final loss to the USWNT. However, the Canadians played good football given their 23 goals and four clean sheets over five matches.

Christine Sinclair was crowned top goalscorer of the world when she scored her 185th goal against Saint Kitts and Nevis. Meanwhile, her prodigy, 18-year-old Jordyn Huitema had a fantastic showing at the CWOQ finishing as the tournament's top scorer with seven goals.

Other Canadian youngsters such as Jessie Fleming, Deanne Rose, Julia Grosso, Jayde Riviere and Gabrielle Carle possess exponential growth and will help manager Kenneth Heiner-Moller further develop his squad. And this tournament is a perfect opportunity.

Brazil – FIFA Ranking: 9th 

The queens of South America qualified to Tokyo 2020 by winning the 2018 Copa America Femenina in Chile. The Verde-Amarela played seven matches and won them all scoring 31 goals in total.

Manager Pia Sundhage's roster averages 28 years of age as it consists of veterans and experienced players. The oldest player in the squad is Formiga sitting at 41 years of age and the youngest is 21-year-old forward Geyse.

The Brazilians have the tough task to take on the Netherlands in their first match of the tournament.
