The President of the Republic participated on Sunday, in his own way, in the inauguration of the Charles-de-Gaulle stadium in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises.
An event marked by a charity match of the Variétés Club de France which raised 50,000 euros for the Anne-de-Gaulle Foundation, which fights against Down's syndrome.
Surprise in the locker room of @VarietesCF!

"I had stalled with the president to intervene on the phone at the time of the traditional pre-match talk of our manager Jacques Vendroux, reveals Karl Olive, the mayor (DVD) of Poissy (Yvelines) and used to matches with the Varieties.
He played the game perfectly. "
"I undertake to invite you for the third half at the Elysée"
On the images broadcast on the social networks of the locker room, where in particular Michel Platini or the 1998 world champions Laurent Blanc, Christian Karembeu and Bixente Lizarazu crowd, we see Karl Olive handing the phone to Jacques Vendroux: "How are you?"
Is everyone hot?
Don't you have any injuries?
Asks President Macron.
And Jacques Vendroux to respond by announcing the composition of the day's team.
"I see that I was not selected, continues President Macron in the form of a joke.
But in these cases, I propose to make the return match in Ile-de-France and perhaps in Poissy, if the mayor agrees.
I will be dressed, humble and I promise to invite you for the third half at the Elysée.
"
It is therefore at the Léo-Lagrange stadium that the meeting should take place, with the Head of State who indicated that he was going to “put on his spikes”.
To read also "I am authentic, cash and without filter": who is Karl Olive, the mayor "showman" of Poissy?
Karl Olive, whom Emmanuel Macron calls “my friend”, validated the idea and an appointment was made for the start of the school year. "A match for the benefit of the Brigitte Macron Foundation could not take place last year, it will be an opportunity to do so this time", concludes the mayor of Poissy.
