Two years to go 

Last Monday, Facebook streamed a live video to honor and kick off the “two years to go” countdown to the Rugby World Cup 2023. On their way to the opening match at the Stade de France, fans were able to go behind the scenes of Rugby World Cup 2023, which pitted hosts France against three-time champions New Zealand. This stream featured well-known guests and personalities who shared their excitement and knowledge of this historic athletic event. This was also a chance to learn more about the ten French cities that hosted the event. Because of this international digital strategy, this broadcast is also ready to welcome fans from all over the world.
