Thierry Henry’s men made a successful entry into the Olympic tournament. The audience was there for their victory against the United States (3-0).
On Wednesday night, the French Olympic team dominated the United States in its first match in the tournament (3-0). Les Bleus won in Marseille, thanks to goals from Lacazette, Olise and Badé. A score that allows Thierry Henry’s men to take first place in Group A.
Broadcast in the clear on France 2, this match attracted 4.42 million viewers between 8:42 p.m. and 11:12 p.m., according to Médiamétrie. 26.3% of the entire audience aged four and over and 25.1% of women purchasing managers aged under 50 watched this first match of the Tricolores in the men’s football competition of the 2024 Olympic Games.
France-USA, a dream audience for the 2024 Olympics
Commented from the Orange Vélodrome by Fabien Lévêque, Loïc Rémy and Lucile Guillotin, the match allowed the public service channel to overtake TF1 in terms of audiences. For comparison, the first meeting of the Blues during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, against Mexico, had only attracted 600,000 people.
The next match of the Blues is scheduled for Saturday, against Guinea, currently last in the group after its opening defeat against New Zealand (1-2). A great opportunity for the Blues to validate their ticket to the quarter-finals.
