“There is a little disappointment. We have no bowl, our three group games were played during the Club World Cup. Inevitably a little disappointed but it remains PSG. Between a final and a group match, TF1 chose a final, “reacted the French community Oriane Jean Jean-François on Thursday at a press conference.
“We are disappointed, we would have liked to have greater visibility but we remain broadcast on a clear channel, that’s good too,” put the Kadidiatou Diani attacker on Thursday, before the announcement of France Télévisions.
In France, club World Cup matches are broadcast on the Dazn platform. But TF1 acquired the rights for two of them: the entry into the running of PSG in mid-June, and the final of Sunday.
The first Parisian match, won against Atlético Madrid (4-0), had gathered 3.8 million viewers on June 15, the best score all channels combined that evening. For their part, the Bleues, which crushed Wales (4-1) at the Euro on Wednesday evening, also allowed France 2 to beat the competition, attracting nearly 2.9 million followers. Their inaugural victory on Saturday (2-1) against England, title holder, she brought together 2.8 million viewers on TF1.
