Paris 2024 Olympics: soccer final: date, time and TV channel France - Spain for the gold medal

The final will take place this Friday, August 9 at 6pm at the Parc des Princes in Paris, a match not to be missed and broadcast on France Télévisions and Eurosport.

After a spectacular qualification on Monday August 5, the French men's soccer team managed to beat Egypt 3-1 after extra time in Lyon. Mahmoud Saber had opened the scoring for the Egyptians in the 62nd minute, but Jean-Philippe Mateta equalized in the 83rd minute, before giving Les Bleus the lead in the 99th minute. Michael Olise then sealed victory in the 108th minute, taking advantage of an Egyptian player's dismissal at the start of extra time. This victory guarantees France a medal, with the possibility of winning gold.

For the first time in 40 years, Les Bleus, led by captain Alexandre Lacazette, have the opportunity to bring home a gold medal for the French delegation. The last time the French soccer team won this title was in 1984, in Los Angeles. At that time, the generation of Bijotat, Garande, Lacombe and Xuereb made their mark. Today, Thierry Henry's team is one match away from repeating that feat.
