Present at Clairefontaine for the two matches against Ireland and Germany, the Blues have decided to help Restos du Coeur, which is facing serious financial problems.

The Restos du Coeur have been heard. On Sunday, the association created by Coluche had launched a call for donations in order to overcome the serious financial difficulties it has been facing for several months. A call that did not leave the players of the France team unmoved. Gathered this Tuesday evening, the Blues have indeed agreed to help the Restos du Coeur.

After having had their dinner on the terrace, the men of Didier Deschamps met in a room of the Château to discuss the subject. And according to RMC Sport, the decision to help the Restos du Coeur was quickly taken. Like the fact of making this process public in order to make the supporters of the France team aware of the situation of the association. Didier Deschamps, the coach of the vice-world champions, and Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation, had previously been informed of their initiative.

The Restos du Coeur had indicated on Sunday that they risked having to reduce the number of their beneficiaries this winter. Nearly 150,000 people could be affected. Mainly due to inflation. Through the voice of their president, Patrice Douret, they explained that they needed an additional 35 million euros to absorb the flow of people who rely on their help. A call also heard by Bernard Arnault, who has already donated 10 million euros. Many artists also intend to mobilize to help the Restos du Coeur.
