It was a dream match last night, where a charity game of football took place between France 98 and the best international players of FIFA 98, who were joined by Usain Bolt. It ended in victory for France 98 with a score of 3-2. Both teams roused the crowd with a performance that lived up to the expectations of this unique spectacle.
After the final, Youri Djorkaeff, a member of France 98, who organised the event, said “It was an excellent display of football, as well as of the sharing and joy that sport can inspire in people! One July day in ’98, France won the football World Cup in a milestone victory that shaped French sporting history and brought the whole country together. Twenty years later, we are pleased to celebrate that unforgettable moment.”
