Francia vs Colombia June 3rd 2008

[jinks]

Never saw a thread so thought Ill open one. Does anyone have any ideas where to get tickets and if turning up at the Stade De France box office a day before is good enough to get a ticket?

And has there been a declaration on whose playing for France? Ribery? Sagna, Clichy, Anelka, Benzema, Henry?

Should be a great match.

You should be able to buy them online ahead of time.

Tickets will eventually show up on that site. I'm not 100% sure this match will be in Paris though. I don't remember reading anything about the venues for pre-Euro friendlies.

this match will indeed be at the Stade de France. Here are the three warmups scheduled:

Mardi 27 mai 2008
Match amical à Grenoble (21h00, au Stade des Alpes)
France-Equateur

Samedi 31 mai 2008
Match amical à Toulouse (21h00, au Stadium)
France-Paraguay

Mardi 3 juin 2008
Match amical au Stade de France (21h00)
France-Colombie

i don't think the colombia match should sell out, but it may be a good idea to get your tickets online. i thought that the FFF only handled tickets allotted for tournaments but it's worth watching their site.

two other sites you can use are:

they already have the PARKING for this match listed, but not match tix yet. they may not mail to the states, but probably to your hotel, and they do print at home tix. or you can pick them up at one of their stores, they're everywhere.

as for who will play i imagine you'll see 45 minutes of everyone who's going to scheizterreich, but they won't be going all out to break a leg!

Are those three matches still the only three friendlies scheduled for France prior to Euro? The times, dates and locations still the same? I just spent about 10 minutes trying to navigate www.fff.fr, but with little French knowledge I was not successful. Thanks.

here's how to order them through the FFF. they mail overseas to. and prices start at 10€!

more, the final of the challenge de france (french women's cup) takes place just before as an opener.

more matches? not unless an A' match is scheduled for next week. these are often organized very quickly so it's technically still possible, but a group of 30 is a little light for that so i think we can safely say... no.
