Kylian Mbappé and William Saliba with the jersey of AS Bondy while Ousmane Dembélé and Steve Mandanda wore that of Évreux Football Club 27. Ibrahima Konaté meanwhile had a set of Paris FC. Alphonse Areola proudly held a sky blue jersey from the Petits-Anges, a club in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. Youssouf Fofana wore a green Espérance Paris 19th century tunic. This Friday, the players of the France team took a break in front of the lens for a photo session with the jersey of their first amateur club. A warm nod to pay tribute to the educators who accompanied their first steps on the football pitch.
The French federation has been promoting amateur football for a few weeks. Didier Deschamps and his staff went to the technical center of the Paris League, in Villeparisis (Seine-et-Marne), a month and a half ago, to meet the educators of the region and salute their work. In the photo, 23 tricolor players were present. Only Mattéo Guendouzi was missing. The OM midfielder started football by signing his first license with PSG, a professional club. And also historical rival of the Phocaeans.
