As in 2021, Emmanuel Macron participated in a charity match in favor of the Yellow Pieces with the Variétés Club de France, filled with five 1998 world champions, Eden Hazard and other Didier Drogba.

This was also the order of the day for the president, who increased the high fives and jokes with the other players despite a lackluster performance.
