Brazil-France: What time and on which TV channel can you watch the Women's Volleyball World Cup quarter-final?

After one of the greatest exploits in its history by beating China , the world's 5th nation, 3 sets to 1 (25-20, 27-25, 22-25, 25-20), on Sunday in Bangkok, the French women's volleyball team is playing in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, a first.

Back in the World Cup after a 51-year absence, Les Bleues will face Brazil, who beat the Dominican Republic 3-1 on Thursday, for a place in the semi-finals, something no one imagined a week ago, except for the players themselves.

"The secret is to believe in it. It's great to play with this team, and we always want to believe in it more," reacted captain Héléna Cazaute, who was masterful against the Chinese with 23 points.

The French women came to Thailand with the ambition of going as far as possible, but their track record didn't speak in their favor. Considered the least successful of French team sports, the volleyball players lost all three of their matches 3-0 at the Paris Olympics last year, in one of their rare appearances at the highest level.

But this group, led by Spanish coach Cesar Hernandez, is learning quickly. The French will be keen to take revenge on the Brazilians, the runners-up to the world champions, who beat them in a tie-break a week ago in the group stage after leading 2 sets to 0.

The quarter-final between France and Brazil will be broadcast this Thursday, September 4, starting at 12 p.m. on L'Equipe Channel.
