the Minister of Sports “makes a commitment that there will be a retransmission”

“I make the commitment that there will be a retransmission” of the Women’s Football World Cup, says Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the “Political Questions” program on France Inter, franceinfo channel 27 and The world. Less than two months from its kickoff, it still has no broadcaster in France.

“I think we should not panic, it will come, there is still a little time”, she temporizes. According to her, “there are structural difficulties because it is a file where the time of year, from July 20 to August 20, is not great”. Another pitfall: the competition takes place in Australia and New Zealand, and with the time difference, “the schedules are not very favorable”.

Nevertheless, “Our broadcasters must, as they have promised to me, go there in favor of women’s football and, no doubt, raise their offer a little bit so that everyone does a part of the way, even if the way to be made by one and the other party is probably not quite equivalent”. “I trust the broadcasters, I have spoken with a number of them already”, she says. Especially since the show will be there, to hear it: the French team “is a great team that has the potential to do a great thing” during this World Cup.
