Will Les Bleus make it all the way to the final of the World Handball Championship on February 2, 2025? The answer will be given this Thursday, January 30, at 9pm, in what promises to be an exceptional semi-final against the competition's hosts, Croatia. We'll have to try and repeat the feat of 2017, when France, six-time world champions, won the competition, and avoid the scenario of 2023, when we finished second.
A match to follow on beIN SPORTS 1 or TFX, during which you'll need to have your heart firmly in your mouth if the scenario is similar to that of the quarter-final against Egypt. Ahead at half-time, France let themselves be caught out before finishing the match with just a one-point lead! In an arena won over to the Croatian cause, Les Bleus, led by their coach Guillaume Gille, will have to show their mettle from the outset.
We're counting on our French players, including Luka Karabatic, Élohim Prandi and Mathieu Grebille of Paris-Saint-Germain, to be in fine form on the pitch, pushed along behind their televisions by thousands of fans!
