As the World Cup approaches, France TV is preparing to broadcast a documentary on Kylian Mbappé next Tuesday (June 2 at 9:05 p.m. on France 5). As the striker prepares to participate in his 3rd personal World Cup, the public service has opted for an original angle: “Mbappé, football diplomacy“.
This 70-minute film will tell the story of the Madrilenian through his career, but also his relationship with the powerful people of this world. At only 27 years old, he is invited everywhere and in just a few years has become a global icon by practicing the most publicized sport in the world, which has become a tool of soft power. After the broadcast, Laurent Delahousse will host a discussion with “a leading guest to talk about soft power, diplomacy and major geopolitical issues around an object that makes our heads spin: a round ball“.
