A meeting in which the former number 10 of the Blues will participate.

Zinedine Zidane will play alongside the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, but also Fabien Barthez and ex-rugby player SĂ©bastien Chabal. On the other side, the team will be made up of former RC Lens glories, like Eric Sikora, Guillaume Warmuz, Daniel Moreira and Yoann Lachor.
