Zinedine Zidane, who we see again on the front of the stage in recent days, announced that he had launched a project to pay tribute to an important event in the history of French football.
On July 12, 1998, the French team added its name to the list of world champion teams. A day that remains etched in the memory of all French people. Zidane, hero of this final, is preparing a surprise. Even if France now has two stars on its jersey, the first is still more symbolic. The Blues of 98 are forever the first to have offered a World Cup to France. If they are not all on good terms, the 23 champions remain intimately linked forever. To commemorate this historic success of the France team, Zinédine Zidane, who scored twice in the final against Brazil, will organize an event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this victory engraved forever. The former Real Madrid coach, still free on the coaching market, will host a special France 98 tournament in his 5-a-side football complex.

As a symbol, this tournament organized by Zinédine Zidane will take place on July 12. This time, the match will not be played in Saint-Denis, at the Stade de France but in Aix-en-Provence where the Z5, the complex of the former midfielder, is located. The event will take place between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. with probably several tournaments but also the presence of certain world champions from the 1998 epic. There will be 250 people who will attend this meeting. It remains to be seen whether all the players will be present. Didier Deschamps had already been absent during the last reunion between the 23 players. Aimé Jacquet could, as a symbol, also make an appearance with Zinedine Zidane. Wednesday July 12, 2023 will therefore be a day of celebration thanks to the one who offered the World Cup to the French and there is no doubt that the wink will be appreciated by all those who remember this day with a touch of nostalgia and pride. .
