The upcoming game holds particular significance as it is the first time the two national teams will face each other in 28 years. The "Golden Goal" scored by Laurent Blanc in the 1998 World Cup in France, which eliminated Paraguay, remains a poignant memory for many Paraguayan fans.

The embassy's social media post captured the festive atmosphere, stating, "At the French Embassy, we are already buzzing for tomorrow's match!" The "croissant vs. chipa" challenge directly asked followers, "Who do you think will win?" The post concluded with a unifying message, "Whatever the result, Rohayhu Paraguay!" (We love Paraguay!).
