On October 27 (7:30 p.m.), the Jean-Dauger stadium in Bayonne will be the scene of an exceptional gathering for the 20th anniversary of the association “A smile, a hope for life”, founded by Pascal Olmeta. Among the host of legends brought together for this charitable cause, we find in particular Laurent Blanc.
The former Blues defender will therefore put on his crampons again for a meeting. On the Bayonne pitch, he will find former teammates in the selection with whom he was world champion in 1998, starting with the new coach of the France team, Zinedine Zidane, Fabien Barthez and Bixente Lizarazu. Without forgetting the 1991 Ballon d’Or Jean-Pierre Papin.
Alongside French football legends, there will be former rugby players who have left their mark on the history of the French XV. Sébastien Chabal, Imanol Harinordoquy, Dimitri Yachvili and Camille Lopez are indeed part of this XXL casting.
Olemta: “Make them dream”
“Some families cannot cope with sick children, the idea is to make them dream, declared Pascal Olmeta to ICI Pays Basque. This year, we took children to Eurodisney, we went to Canada. We will also accompany single mothers, faced with illness, to the Celine Dion concert. When we told them, they cried on the phone. »
All profits from this legendary match will allow the association to offer dream moments and valuable support to sick children and their families. The ticket office is already open on the Aviron Bayonnais website, with places ranging from 12.50 to 42.50 euros.
