France blind football team target European title defence against England in Strasbourg | OneFootball

France’s blind football team aim to defend their European title on home soil in Strasbourg, facing England in Sunday’s final at 18:00 at the foot of the European Parliament.

According to Le Progres, Hakim Arezki and his team-mates see one obstacle remaining, England, as they look to keep the crown claimed in Italy four years ago.

The hosts have embraced a thread linking places and moments, from Paris 2024 to Strasbourg 2026, from the Eiffel Tower to the European Parliament.

That narrative carries a question, from Paralympic gold to a possible fourth continental crown, to be settled on home turf.

The motif has echoed through the week, the result now resting on a single match.
