There are certain matches that are played in privileged settings and for the charity meeting between the Variétés Club de France and the French team of Parliamentarians, this was the case. The meeting took place at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and the 22 players wet their jerseys for the benefit of the “e-Enfance” association, which took place at the Emile Anthoine stadium in Paris on September 28, 2022. A match which caused a lot of talk upstream since for the first time, the parliamentary football team included members of the National Rally in its workforce. A decision that led to the boycott of the match by rebellious deputies, socialists and ecologists and the media widely covered the case. A way according to the elected officials of the left to fight against the “trivialization” of the far right and an “alleged normalization” of the elected officials of the RN, according to their words.
It was therefore good with the deputy of the National Rally (RN) of Yonne Julien Odoul that the match has been played. The politician from Marine Le Pen’s party was also the victim of a serious injury, forcing him to go out in a wheelchair during the match. Beyond the controversy surrounding the arrival of far-right deputies, the stars had moved in numbers for a good cause. Among the personalities present that day in Paris, the spectators had the chance to see Matt Pokora. A very talented player, the singer gave his all on the pitch, just like Christian Karembeu or Wilfrid Mbappe (all the photos of the event can be found in the slideshow).
