Co-broadcaster of the competition with beIN Sportsthe audiovisual group will broadcast 54 matches. To comment on those of the Blues, a trio made up of journalist Xavier Domergue and consultants Samuel Umtiti and Benoît Cheyrou was chosen.
In addition to television, news from the 2026 World Cup will be relayed daily on the radio on RTLowned by the group M6. Every evening, at 8 p.m., Éric Silvestro will be accompanied by Alain Boghossian, Jean Resseguié, SoAnne, Dave Appadoo and Gilles Verdez.
Gilles Verdez, still legitimate to talk football?
The choice of the latter surprises some Internet users on social networks. Indeed, it was by becoming a columnist in “Touche pas à mon poste”, from September 2013, that this professional sports journalist became known to the general public.
Previously, this man, now 61 years old, had been a senior reporter for this sports daily between 1996 and 1999. Subsequently, he became editor-in-chief at Parisian and director of the sports department of France-Soir in 2011. Regularly, Fatou’s companion still appears in the show “On refait le match”, on RTL.
