The match between Morocco and France, which ended in a victory for the Blues (0-4), set an audience record. Sakina Karchaoui, the French defender of Moroccan origin, and her teammates play a place in the semi-finals against Australia, one of the host countries, on Saturday.
Broadcast on M6, the round of 16 match between Morocco and France was watched by 5.22 million viewers, or 45.7% audience share (PDA), according to information published by Médiamétrie on Wednesday. Compared to previous audiences, this is the best record for the Blues since the start of the competition.
