While the French women’s volleyball team’s Euro is going perfectly for Les Bleues, with four wins in five games during the group stage and an affordable round of 16 against Romania this Saturday, the men will also launch their Euro. In Pool D, Earvin Ngapeth’s teammates will face Greece, Israel, Portugal, Romania and Turkey.
This group stage will take place in Tel Aviv for the Blues. France’s first match will take place on Wednesday August 30 (4 p.m.) against Turkey, before continuing against Portugal on Thursday August 31 (4 p.m.), Israel on Saturday September 2 (7 p.m.), Romania on Monday September 4 (4 p.m.) and Greece on Tuesday September 5 (4 p.m.).
The calendar of the Blues
Wednesday August 30, 4 p.m.: France-Turkey (La Chaîne l’Equipe)
Thursday August 31, 4 p.m.: France-Portugal (La Chaîne l’Equipe)
Saturday September 2, 7:30 p.m.: France-Israel (La Chaine l’Equipe)
Monday September 4, 4 p.m.: France-Romania (La Chaine l’Equipe)
Tuesday 5 September, 4 p.m.: France-Greece (La Chaine l’Equipe)
All the matches will be broadcast on the L’Équipe channel and on L’Équipe live, as are the matches of the Women’s Euro.
For this European Championship, the French team can count on Earvin Ngapeth, back after his knee injury that kept him away from the field for many weeks. The star of the Blues will finally be there, all like the other executives of the team that are Antoine Brizard, Jean Patry, Trévor Clévenot, Barthélémy Chinenyeze or Nicolas Le Goff. Andrea Giani, coach of the French, will therefore have a full group to aim for a European medal, two years after being eliminated in the round of 16 by the Czech Republic.
