The FFT said last week that Les Bleus, who qualified after beating holders Czech Republic, would host the event under a closed stadium roof in Lille.

Switzerland, who will be led by Roger Federer, advanced into the final by knocking out Italy in the semi-finals.

The final will be played from Nov. 21-23.
