Watching "Sports venues in France" in Cote d'Ivoire live with beer in one hand!?

In the largest city in Cote d'Ivoire "Abidjan", the downtown area "Zone 4" is visited mainly by the wealthy. This area, which stands out in Abidjan, is calmly located here "Stade de France".

The restaurant, named after a stadium in Sandoni, a suburb of Paris, France, is run by a French owner who is a Marseilles fan. Therefore, among the flags and scarves displayed in the shop, the ones from Marseille stand out the most.

There are more foreign soccer fans in the store than local customers. Probably because the price is much higher than other stores. The air conditioner is perfect, and it is attractive that you can watch sports comfortably even on a humid night.

When I arrived at the store, I was already 40 minutes into the second half. Yes, today's matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League "A.C. Milan x Marseille" was drawing to a close with a tie score of 1 -1.

Depending on the result of the match, Marseille will have a hard time getting through the group stage. It was the moment when the owner and other foreign customers who seemed to be Marseilles fans sighed.

The game ended as it was and music from other countries began to play in the store. There are so many different genres, but it was really funny to hear "Oh, Champs Elysees." after the up-tempo African song.

where the Marseilles flag stands out the most	There are a lot of screens and TVs in the store.

I ordered Italian although it was a French restaurant in Ivory Coast.

At the end of the game, commentator Zidane started giving some commentary on the TV screen. We don't understand French in the first place, and the sound in the restaurant has already been switched to music, so we finally calmed down and focused on our meals.

What I ordered this time was pizza, pasta, and salad, which was Italian taste? Menu. We ordered drinks for each of them and the total cost was about 8000 yen for 4 people. Considering prices in Japan, it is quite reasonable, but considering local prices, it can be said to be a very celebrity dinner.
