Sad to see they chose French as broadcasting language since it isn't appealing to foreigners who want to travel to Paris :(

We actually make the call based on the different markets. True, English penetration is different in all the countries in EU, but this is not just about if people speaks or not the language, also what is their preferred language to play and watch.

So essentially, we try to ensure that the experience at the Venue resonates with the local players as much as possible. It's about creating the best experience we can, and that changes depending on where we are going

Very excited to go back to Paris, the french crowd set a high bar already and I am ready to set a new one even higher !
