The room is very full

17:42
The starting 7 (unsurprisingly) of the Blues
17:41
No defeat against the Macedonians
The Blues have faced North Macedonia four times in the past, for four victories. Except in Skopje during qualifying for Euro 2016 where the duel was fought (25-27), France has always won by a wide margin.
17:35
The opinion of Erick Mathé, the assistant coach of the Blues, on Macedonia
“It’s always important to enter a competition with bite, because often in the first match, the level tends to level out between the teams. There is a lot of desire, sometimes stress, and above all freshness. Kyril Lazarov was a fan of the 7-on-6 game: he seeks to reproduce it with his players. The pivots are solid, left-back Taleski is recognized on the international scene. Kumanoski is a quality centre-half with, also alongside him, right-back Velkoski. The team relies on several players who play with Pelister in the Champions League and therefore have international experience. Although North Macedonia has limited rotations, this team still has a fierce desire to represent their country well. She puts a lot of commitment and aggression into it.”
17:30
53,000 spectators for a record
This France-North Macedonia match will be held at Merkur-Spiel Arena in Düsseldorf, which is expected to welcome more than 50,000 spectators, an attendance record for a handball match. A record that could only hold for a few hours because this evening, Germany will challenge Switzerland in this same stadium.
17:23
The Blues in search of a 4th European title
The French team has already won the Euro three times in 2006, 2010 and 2014. Conversely, it has often come through during the Euros taking place in the same year as the Olympic Games.
17:18
Everyone behind the Blues!
