Friday evening at 9pm is the match between Portugal and France in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. You can watch the match in Toulouse with the Portuguese fans.
Between the Euros, France and Portugal is enough to bring back bad memories for some and a moment of euphoria for others. But the time is no longer right for Gignac's position and Eder's goal. Since then, the two teams have achieved prestigious victories, with Portugal winning Euro 2016 and France winning the 2018 World Cup.

Of course, other restaurants and bars will be broadcasting the match, such as the Toulouse Choir on a giant screen, which also plans to broadcast the Germany-Spain match.

On the one hand, Balma and the Engrenage restaurant are also broadcasting the match, as they already did in the Top 14 final between Stade Toulousain and Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
