On October 30, AS Cannes will launch its charitable matches program, called “Cannes Legends”. The Riviera club will take the opportunity to bring together legends of the round ball and other stars from popular culture.
At the end of the month, a team made up of old legends of “dragons” will be opposed to the support of the association “Les Étoiles de l'Espoir”, at the Pierre de Coubertin stadium. Thus, Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira, Luis Fernandez, Sébastien Frey, Julien Escudé or Gaël Clichy will be part of the first team.
Didier Deschamps will be in the second. The coach of the French team will be supported by former internationals, such as Robert Pirès, Grégory Coupet, Sébastien Squillaci and Jérémy Ménez. But also by Marseille rappers,
Like Jul or the IAM group.
Zidane, return to the fold
“Through this program, we want to give pleasure to the public, bring together several generations around our club and put our passion at the service of a beautiful cause. I am very proud to contribute to this project and I can't wait to see this reunion on the field ”, Explained former goalkeeper Sébastien Frey, one of the program ambassadors, in a statement.
AS Cannes is currently evolving in National 2. In the early 90s, when “Zizou” began in professional, the club was in the first division and qualified for the first time in the European Cup.
