The French national team faces Norway this Friday at 9 PM. But the heatwave currently affecting a large part of France will somewhat spoil the party for many viewers.

What is prohibited?

The ban on alcohol consumption in public spaces will start this Friday at 12 PM until Saturday 7 AM.

Are bars and restaurants affected?

No, bars and restaurants are not affected by the decree. It will be allowed to drink alcohol on the terraces of restaurants or bars in the French capital.

Why this ban?

Prefect Patrice Faure justifies these bans by the placement of Paris in the "red heatwave alert" level with temperatures that can reach 41°C this weekend. | Date | Match | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-06-22 | France - Iraq | 3-0 | The authorities want to avoid an even greater increase in the demand for emergency services by limiting "the health impacts of the consumption and sale of alcoholic beverages in the commune of Paris". The France-Norway match this Friday has what it takes to delight the Blues' supporters. Scheduled at the beginning of the weekend, it offers a great match without too much thought about the next day's wake-up call.
