In fact, the match between Japan and Paraguay on Wednesday, July 24 will mark a small piece of Bordeaux sporting history: it is the first time an Olympic sport will be held in the Gironde. During the last French Olympics 100 years ago, scattered meetings outside Paris were held in the suburbs or in Reims.
“Japan, Japan”
The first Bordeaux Wine Festival was held in a festive atmosphere. Granted, the stadium was far from full – there were about 10,000 spectators – but the Japanese fans enlivened the game, applauding even seemingly innocuous stages of play. Or whistle to your own goalkeeper when play is slow to restart.
The two teams were playing the national anthem. A historic moment for Bordeaux sport.

In the South Bay, the home of the Bordeaux Ultras to this day, the atmosphere this time comes from blue jerseys, red-circled flags on white and the regular throwing of “Nippon, Nippon” (“Japan” in Japanese). The match started in the morning in a joyful atmosphere on the streets of Bordeaux and continued to the stadium, which was dominated by supporters and even Asian journalists. Red and white banners were even offered to visitors without any specific affiliation. Tsunami.
