DENVER — On Tuesday, Complete Sports Management (CSM) announced that the historic Nov. 6 contest between Notre Dame and South Carolina will be played at Halle Georges Carpentier Area at 1 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN. The event has been dubbed “Oui Play” and is set to kick off the 2023-24 college basketball season.
“We are ecstatic about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play in Paris, and we cannot thank the city of Paris enough for its efforts in making this possible.” Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Niele Ivey said. “Being able to play in a historic venue while having the game showcased back home on ESPN is another step in the right direction for women’s basketball as it continues to grow both in the United States and across the globe.”
Both the Gamecocks and Irish, which are expected to be preseason top-10 teams, will arrive in Paris several days before the game with the opportunity to practice at the arena. In addition to city tours and a boat cruise on the Seine, together with Under Armour, the teams will host a youth basketball clinic over the weekend ahead of Monday’s game. The clinic, powered by UA Next, is an opportunity for the teams and a leading partner to continue to break down barriers in athletics and increase access to the sport of basketball in Paris.
Together with Paris Basket, tickets for the event will be available for purchase online beginning August 21. They can also be purchased on game day at the Hall Georges Carpentier box office. There will be three types of tickets available ranging in price from 10-30€ (cost in U.S. dollars will vary based on exchange rate at the time of purchase).
Courtside tickets are available on both baselines for 30€, and premium tickets located in the center section of each sideline are 20€. Paris-level tickets are 10€ each and located behind and facing each team. For more information on tickets, email billetterie@parisbasketball.net or call +33 06 28 65 62 82.
