With passionate support from a crowd of around 10,000 spectators, the atmosphere at the Eiffel Tower stadium was electric, showcasing the unity and determination of French athletes across all football disciplines.
- The excitement surrounding the upcoming match against Argentina is palpable, as the French blind football team prepares to face a formidable opponent. Villeroux, often referred to as the 'Messi of blind football,' has been pivotal in leading his team to this point, leveraging his experience and skill to navigate through tough matches. The team's recent victory against Colombia not only showcased their talent but also highlighted their resilience, having previously lost to the same team in May. This time, they are determined to secure a gold medal, a feat that would mark a historic moment for blind football in France.
