Digne determined to deliver on France promise

The hosts and pre-tournament favourites must rise to the occasion to make sure home fans are left celebrating, according to the Paris Saint-Germain defender

Lucas Digne says the France team must do everything possible to make it a successful Euro 2016 on home soil.

Didier Deschamps' side are among the favourites to lift the Henri Delaunay Trophy, as they prepare to open the tournament against Romania in Paris on Friday.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Digne, who spent last season on loan at Roma, is determined to seize the opportunity presented to the squad.

"It's a dream," he told Omnisport when asked about playing a European Championship as hosts.
