Despite initial doubts, the first round of the basketball tournaments was exceptional thanks to the Lille fans.
Unfortunately, the Olympic fervor does not seem to be the same in Paris, which led to a big controversy on social networks.
When the organizing committee of the Paris Olympic Games began to look into the basketball tournament, the controversies followed one after the other.
Because all the big halls in the capital were taken by other disciplines, the idea was initially to put the basketball players in the exhibition hall used for the Salon de l’Agriculture.
Imagining LeBron James and Nikola Jokic in this environment did not necessarily please the fans.
Finally, after further hesitation, the Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille was selected.
Some were sceptical because of the distance, but it is clear that this first round, both for the men and the women, was a huge popular success… And following the return to Paris for the knockout phase, we could even have some regrets.
Empty stands at Accor Arena annoy fans!

The comparison with the Accor Arena in Paris is therefore terrible, since many seats are now reserved for absent partners.
The feeling of emptiness contrasts with previous matches.
And the most annoying thing for the fans is that the guests did not travel to a match of the French team, while some would give everything to live this dream.
Let’s hope that the victory against Canada will change the situation, and that until a possible final, the stands will be full.
Our Bleus/Bleues deserve that.
The Olympic Games should be a popular celebration, an event that brings together all sports fans… Unfortunately, in the basketball tournament, a large part of the seats were reserved for absent partners.
