If France reaches the final of the Football World Cup, will there be a giant screen in Montluçon (Allier) to broadcast the match?
The town hall had considered this option.
But finally, she made her final decision on Monday.
And there will therefore be no giant screen to broadcast the potential meeting, reports
La Montagne
.
A decision that must disappoint many Montluçonnais fans of the Blues.
In 2018, they had been several thousand to move on the esplanade of the castle of the Dukes of Bourbon to attend the coronation of the French team against Croatia.
“But there, the context is completely different”, explains Frédéric Laporte, mayor of the city.
The municipality decided not to install a giant screen “for budgetary reasons”.
“We cannot ask people to save money and spend, on our side, money for this event”, adds the elected official.
According to Frédéric Laporte, it is not certain that the supporters are motivated to face the cold and watch the match outside.
