Will they finally launch their tournament? In a clash during the group stage, the handball Blues will face Germany in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games, on Wednesday 7 August (1:30 pm, live on France Télévisions and france.tv), at the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Lille. Reigning Olympic champions, the Tricolores will have to raise their level if they want to reach the last four.
Blues lack of confidence. Guillaume Gille’s players gave very disappointing performances in the group stage, losing two games (Denmark and Norway) and conceding in the final against Egypt. As a result, the Blues finished fourth in their group, the last qualifier, a performance below expectations.
Germans strong in chickens. The IS team, for his part, very strong in the group stage. First in his group, he won, in turn, Sweden (30-27), in third place in the last Euro and Spain (33-31), vice-champion of Europe in 2022.
Reserve for the French team? For 20 years and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Blues have always reached the last four of the Olympic Games. An elimination on Wednesday would therefore be a poor performance, especially since the Tricolores are led by Olympic and European champions. During this last tournament, in January 2024, the French beat the Germans 33-30.
