Ep 62 | "Allez Les Bleus!" - On stage at the World Cup draw w/ Didier Deschamps + Paris 2024 insights from French superfan family

One question we’ve been asked a lot recently is whether or not we’re planning to attend and cover any Olympic soccer matches this summer in Paris. We will be in Europe for EURO 2024 in Germany after all. Sadly though, we can’t do it all. So, we figured we’d deliver the next best thing. 

In today’s episode we’re bringing you a recent conversation with French Football Superfans Pascal, Joris, & Lennie - a father, son and daughter trio we met in Qatar during World Cup 2022. And if you’re a fan who pays attention to all the micro-events happening around international soccer - for example, things like the World Cup draw - chances are you’ve seen at least one of them yourselves. That’s because Joris (15) and Lennie (11), under the guidance of Pascal of course, have been footy travelers since at least the age of 2, and they have had some incredibly unique and high profile experiences you’re going to love hearing about! They also share some local insights for the upcoming Olympics being hosted in Paris.
