As the 2026 World Cup approaches this summer, Paris is gearing up once again to unite fans in celebrating football. From June 11 to July 19, 2026, if France makes it all the way to the final, the capital will have a quintessentially Parisian backdrop to cheer on the Blues—along the iconic Quais of Seine. This was revealed during a trophy-related event on Tuesday, February 10.
This temporary hub, designed for all football enthusiasts, aims to offer an immersive experience where the excitement of the matches is accompanied by a vibrant musical lineup.
An ideal meeting spot to enjoy the cool breezes of the Seine during this time of year when the summer heat starts to settle in the capital. Like during the Olympics or the Rugby World Cup, this authentic fan zone promises to bring exciting sports moments and heartfelt interactions. With France among the favorites in this World Cup edition—eight years after their last victory—fans can look forward to memorable experiences both on and off the field.
While the exact location and full details of the festivities are still under wraps for now, it’s already clear that the program will feature live broadcasts and sound animations to keep the celebration going long after the final whistle. More information about this highly anticipated summer event is expected to be announced in the coming months.
