On June 17, the French national football team starts the competition of Euro 2024. The players of the tricolor team begin their journey by facing the Austrian team. Subsequently, they will have the Netherlands and Poland as opponents.
France and its fiery atmosphere
France has not yet won the title of European champion, but it may have secured the prize for the atmosphere. Indeed, last night, Sunday, June 16, in Düsseldorf, Germany, French supporters fervently animated the streets to support their national team. The Blues are finally preparing to embark on their journey in this long-awaited Euro, with a match scheduled in Düsseldorf against Austria, at 9 p.m. this Monday, June 17.
A tense political backdrop
It is undeniable that France has the advantage of the support of its fans. Some of them have traveled from Paris, with a full train. However, despite this festive atmosphere, it is difficult to ignore the current turbulent political context. Indeed, less than two weeks before the first round of legislative elections and after the dissolution of the National Assembly, the rise of the far right in France is raising concerns and increased vigilance.
