French President Emmanuel Macron recently participated in a charity football match, where he played the full 90 minutes alongside former football stars Didier Drogba, Didier Deschamps, and Eden Hazard. The event aimed to raise money for children in hospital and was organized by the Varieties Club of France (VCF). This was the second time Macron played in a charity match during his presidency, with the first taking place in 2021. The match raised 57,500 euros which will benefit a hospital foundation led by Macron’s wife Brigitte.
Macron wore the number three jersey and played alongside former France international Christian Karembeu during the entire duration of the game. The charity match aimed to improve the lives of hospitalized children and teenagers. Brigitte Macron’s hospital foundation, established in 1989, focuses on raising funds for children and teenagers undergoing medical treatment.
Macron has been known to participate in various charity events throughout his presidency, including a concert that raised over €3 million for research into brain tumors last year. His commitment to supporting charitable causes is widely appreciated by his supporters and has helped him maintain a positive image among the French public.
