First lady since her husband was elected President of the Republic for the first time in 2017, Brigitte Macron is guaranteed to retain this symbolic function until 2027, following the re-election of Emmanuel Macron as head of state in 2022. Having inherited the responsibilities of president of the Hospital Foundation, the First Lady has led the annual Yellow Pieces operation in France since 2019. It is precisely within the framework of this famous charitable operation that the President of the Republic and his wife went to Yvelines on Wednesday April 24, 2024. That day, Emmanuel Macron decided to wet his jersey on the field. Indeed, the current resident of the Élysée put on his cleats to participate in a charity football match organized by the Club de France varieties.
Obviously, Brigitte Macron had made the trip to Yvelines to support her husband. As usual, the First Lady had opted for a very chic outfit, which once again caught the eye of the photographers present on site to cover this event. At the end of this meeting, Brigitte Macron came to congratulate her companion for his performance on the field. The presidential couple even exchanged a tender kiss, which is rather rare for them when they are in public. In the end, the President of the Republic’s team won this friendly clash with a score of five goals to three. Emmanuel Macron even made his contribution, given that the head of state, who is a fervent supporter of Olympique de Marseille, scored a goal from a penalty during this meeting.

In the end, this charitable meeting raised 57,500 euros for the benefit of the Hospital Foundation. Unsurprisingly, many stars traveled to Yvelines to take part in this match with Emmanuel Macron. Among the latter, we can notably cite the current coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, who will soon unveil the list of players summoned to represent France during Euro football 2024. As a reminder, the world champion 1998 has been the sponsor of the Yellow Pieces operation since 2019. As such, it regularly participates in the operations carried out by this solidarity campaign.
