Sport Social is proud to announce the addition of five French-language podcasts to its ever-growing international lineup, including a show hosted by French football legend Robert Pirès.

This latest expansion strengthens Sport Social’s presence in the French-speaking market and reflects the network’s continued mission to bring diverse, high-quality sport content to fans around the world. 

From legendary football retrospectives and Real Madrid fancasts, to fast-paced cycling recaps and the launch of a podcast from a World Cup-winning icon, this new collection showcases the breadth and passion of the French sporting landscape. 

Robert Ta7ks sees the debut of former France and Arsenal legend Robert Pirès in the podcasting space. Pirès, who also represented Villarreal and Marseille and lifted the World Cup with France in 1998, brings his perspective to the biggest footballing stories of the day. Pirès is joined by a host of iconic guests set to join throughout the series, Robert Ta7ks delivers reflection, analysis, and unique insights from one of the game’s most respected figures. 

Also joining the network is 100 % Cyclisme, a podcast that’s redefining the way fans follow elite cycling. With a unique format, the show offers condensed, high-intensity summaries of every major World Tour race - from the Tour Down Under to the Tour of Lombardy - complete with live-style commentary. For fans short on time but big on passion, this podcast delivers the action without the hours. 

Les Libéros brings an evergreen football concept to the network, diving deep into the legendary teams and icons of the 1990s and 2000s. With nostalgia, reverence, and insight, the show revisits the careers of stars like Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario, Thierry Henry, and Luis Figo, offering fans a chance to relive the era that made them fall in love with the beautiful game. 

Meanwhile, two fan-driven shows round out the additions: Esprit Madridista and ALC Marseille. 

Esprit Madridista is a Real Madrid podcast created specifically for French-speaking fans of Los Blancos. Hosted by Gilchrist and Yoann and featuring regular guests, the podcast breaks down every match, moment and managerial move through the lens of true Madridistas. 

On the southern coast, ALC Marseille serves as a passionate audio home for supporters of Olympique de Marseille. Hosted by Brice and his team, it combines match analysis, historical deep dives, and a heavy dose of club culture for one of France’s most storied sides. 

 “These shows represent exactly what we love at Sport Social: passionate creators, expert voices, and content that connects with fans on a deep level. Bringing on a footballing legend like Robert Pirès is a huge moment for the network, and we're equally excited to work with these brilliant French creators and communities.”
