A former French international, who played for OL and Chelsea, Florent Malouda joined the army, through the citizen reserve, as an officer. Born in Cayenne, he retired in 2018 and will contribute to promoting the values of the military institution in Guyana. A brand new project…
But what happens to Florent Malouda? After more than 20 years of career, which ended in 2018, Malouda is evolving in a completely different field. A former French international (80 caps, 9 goals), the ex-striker enlisted in the army this Friday and joined the citizen reserve of the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment (REI). A whole new challenge for someone who retired from professional football, in Luxembourg, this time far from the pitch…
“The 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment welcomes Mr. Florent Malouda into its citizen reserve, as an officer. After an exceptional career in international football, he is keen to share and transmit the values of commitment to Guyanese youth alongside the legionnaires of the 3rd REI”, he shared on the networks.
Back to basics
Malouda, aged 44, will evolve as an officer. This system allows public figures, known in their fields, to volunteer to promote the values and missions of the military institution, without them being military personnel themselves.
-The native of Cayenne will join a regiment in Kourou, on his native lands. He had also played for the Guyana selection, at the end of his career (between 2017 and 2018). A return to basics then. A desire to share for Guyanese youth, between values of commitment and surpassing oneself, put forward by the former Guingamp footballer.
