On Saturday, at the end of the evening, the France team finally knew its group, within one team, for Euro 2024. But where will the Blues gather in Germany? As before every major competition, the delegations from each country are busy choosing their base camp. This is the case of France. During Euro 2021, the Blues were in Budapest, in a particular context with the Covid. Then, during the last World Cup in Qatar, in 2022, they lived in the comfort of the Al Messila Resort in Doha. This time, Didier Deschamps’ men should settle in North Rhine-Westphalia, in Lippspringe, 15 minutes from Paderborn as announced The Team.
“The Blues’ living and training location for Euro 2024 should be closer to Istra, the place of residence of the French team in Russia in 2018, in the middle of the countryside just over an hour from Moscow . For several weeks Mohamed Sanhadji, the liaison and security officer and Philippe Brochérieux, the administrative manager have traveled across Germany in search of the rare pearl, among the large catalog offered by UEFA which combines hotel establishments and sports facilities for which qualified people express wishes», argues the newspaper. The choice of base camp must be taken seriously, and it must respect several criteria as Guy Stephan explained on Saturday: “It has to be a comfortable hotel without being luxurious, with a quality training ground fairly close, 10 minutes away, a quarter of an hour maximum, with a good lawn.” Until now and according to sources close to UEFA, the Blues are heading towards the Best Western Premier Park in Lippsringe (4 stars, 130 rooms, swimming pools, gardens, etc.), a strategic location because the Paderborn lawn, in excellent condition, only 15 minutes away. A choice which should be confirmed soon.
