It seems that French President Emmanuel Macron preferred to take a short vacation from politics and its concerns. He showed off his athletic abilities before the 2024 Paris Olympics by taking a penalty kick in a charity football match.
In detail, he shot a low ball into the far corner of the goal while the goalkeeper remained stationary on the goal line yesterday, Wednesday.
Along with international players
The French president was playing the match, which was held in Paris, to raise money for children in hospitals, along with a group of former international players and healthcare professionals.
Macron’s team (46 years old) included Eden Hazard, Didier Drogba and France coach Didier Deschamps, and beat the opposing team led by former Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger and Samuel Eto’o 5-3, according to what Reuters reported.
“Two teams, one goal”
He wrote on the “X” platform: “Two teams, one goal: to improve the daily lives of children and young people in hospitals.”
It is noteworthy that the sporting activities of the French President, who also scored a penalty kick in a charity match in 2021, increased in sports during the period leading up to the Paris Olympics.
He was also photographed training for boxing last month, and promised to swim in the Seine River before the Paris Olympics.
