France vs Spain Live, Men’s Football Paris Olympics 2024 Final Gold Medal Match Live Updates: Hosts France will take on Spain in the final of the Olympics on Friday at the Parc des Princes. While the former is coming on the back of a win against solid Egypt side in the semifinal the latter is coming on the back of a dramatic win against Morocco in their knock-out clash.
Both sides though lacked the big names in their squad, have reached the finals. France would look to win a gold on their home turf and Spain who last won a gold in Barcelona 1992 would not settle for anything less either. Additionally, France is contesting for gold for the third time in their history and won it in 1984 in Los Angeles.
However, as per head-to-head record goes Spain has an edge over France. In 37 meetings Spain has won 17 times and France has won 13 times with seven games ending up in a draw. The la Rojas are also coming on the back of a successful European Champion 2024 beating England in the final of the competition.

Host nation France will be looking to round off a fairytale summer in Paris with a gold medal on Friday having reached the final with relative ease. Crystal Palace man Jean-Philippe Mateta has been the talisman guiding an exciting young French team to glory so far, with his four goals leaving him firmly in the chase for the Golden Boot award.
Spain, however, will be looking to add to their European Championship victory earlier this summer as their exciting young stars hope to reap the rewards of another dazzling showing in tournament football. Barcelona's Fermin Lopez has had a tournament to remember, grabbing four goals in five games so far, including the opener in the semi-final.
Kick-off is at 5pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch men's Olympics football wherever you are.
WATCH FRANCE VS SPAIN IN THE UK
You'll be able to watch free Olympics live streams throughout the Games across the BBC's terrestrial channels, the Red Button and the BBC iPlayer streaming service – though you will need a valid TV Licence to tune in.
Unfortunately, the BBC doesn't have full rights to the Olympics, and is limited to broadcasting two streams at any one time. In other words, if France vs Spain isn't one of the lucky events chosen you'll need to go elsewhere.
For the most comprehensive service in the UK you'll need to subscribe to Eurosport and Discovery Plus, who are offering 3,800 hours of live coverage across 55 streams. Between now and 11 August you can take advantage of a special Olympics offer to subscribe to the Discovery Plus Standard plan. This gives you access to all the Olympics action for just £3.99 per month, a massive saving on the usual £6.99. Even better, new customers will be able to enjoy the discounted price for the rest of the year.
USE A VPN TO WATCH FRANCE VS SPAIN FROM ANYWHERE
If you’re travelling abroad for France vs Spain then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal when you know you'd have access back home.
But help is at hand. All you need to do to navigate those geoblocking restrictions is buy yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network) – assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.
A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, but NordVPN scores particularly highly for the Olympics:
