CAN 2025: Watch Parties in Paris & Île-de-France

The Île-de-France region is full of places to watch African Cup of Nations matches. Places rely on a neutral clientele, like the bar Belushi’s Gare du Nord at 5 Rue de Dunkerque (10th arrondissement) or La Table des Artistes at 1 rue Alexis Séon has Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine), which broadcast all the matches of the competition.

Conversely, certain party rooms or restaurants are transformed, for the duration of a match, into a real fan zone, committed to the cause of a single nation. This is the case for the Davinci Club, which is located at 20 rue du Commandant l’Herminier (20th arrondissement), and which vibrates in the colors of Mali, with after parties after the matches.

Watch the matches in an electric atmosphere

Cameroon supporters are honored at 27 Alfortville dyke (Val-de-Marne), in a village hall with a giant screen. Reservations are required but we advise you to go and take a look because the atmosphere is even warmer. The Indomitable Lions will play against Morocco this Friday at 8 p.m.

Au 6 boulevard Gallieni in Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine), a show with DJ accompanied by food and a giant screen has been set up since the start of the CAN to welcome Senegal supporters in the best conditions. Supporters of the Lions of Teranga will give their voice against Mali this Friday at 5 p.m.

On the other side of the region, at 11, rue Louison Bobet in Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), fans of the Ivory Coast national team are invited to a village hall that can accommodate 500 people to watch the match against Egypt this Saturday at 8 p.m., all in front of a giant screen.

More neutral places for football fans

Au 2-4 Boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart (18th arrondissement), in a former Tati store transformed into a cultural center and renamed the International Youth Union, the CAN matches are broadcast, in an atmosphere that is certainly joyful but calmer. Football jerseys honoring several African nations are even on sale, and there is the ability to eat on site.

All football lovers are invited, as in Mama Shelter near Puteaux and La Défensewhich offers a calmer but equally passionate atmosphere to enjoy the last matches of the competition.
