France-Norway fan zone in Mantes-la-Jolie on a giant screen this Friday.

Mantes-la-Jolie to host a fan zone with a free giant screen at Jean-Paul David Stadium to watch France vs Senegal this Tuesday, June 16, 2026—the Blues’ World Cup opener—right in the heart of Val-Fourré.

The fan zone of Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) powers up its giant screen for the Blues’ final group-stage match. The city is reinstalling its setup at Jean-Paul David Stadium, at the entrance of the Val-Fourré district, to broadcast France-Norway this Friday, June 26, 2026. Access remains free and open, limited to 1,500 seats, the second-largest capacity in the department.

Where to watch France vs. Norway in Mantes-la-Jolie on June 26, 2026?

Join us at the Jean-Paul David Stadium on Albert Camus Avenue, transformed for the occasion into a true open-air fan zone. Gates open at 8:00 PM, with kickoff at 9:00 PM (French time).

Access closes once the cap of 1,500 people is reached, so it's worth arriving a bit early to secure a spot in front of the screen. With that capacity, the venue has become the North of Yvelines' premier popular gathering.

Is the Val-Fourré fan zone free of charge?

Yes, admission is completely free and open to all, with no reservations or wristbands required. A simple setup that stands apart from the pre-registration schemes you often see elsewhere in the department. The City lays out the event in its official calendar, and all the broadcasts are collected on the City of Mantes-la-Jolie’s website.

France-Norway, a decisive clash for the top spot?

The matchup is far from routine. Already qualified for the round of 16, the Blues and the Norwegians are chasing the top spot in Group I this evening, after two wins apiece. France opened its World Cup campaign against Senegal before sweeping Iraq.

Opposite them, Norway presses on with a already-fire Haaland, signaling a gripping duel on the big screen at Val-Fourré. We can already picture the atmosphere rising a notch with every dangerous ball delivered to the Norwegian striker. To brush up on the route, the calendar of the Blues at the 2026 World Cup sums up everything, and our guide to everything you need to know about the tournament completes the picture. For those who prefer the couch, the match will be shown on beIN SPORTS and broadcast free-to-air on M6.

What other World Cup fan zones are there in Yvelines?

If you live further east in the department, more towns are rolling out their fan zones for the rest of the World Cup. We break it down in our guide to fan zones in the Yvelines for the 2026 World Cup.

On the festive side, the Carrières-sur-Seine fan zone, with food trucks and DJ sets, is worth a detour, as is the Yvelines’ largest fan zone spotted for the Blues’ kickoff. A great way to follow France’s run from right at home.
