Most footballers are not known to be politically active. Now a Bundesliga star has proven the opposite - he is available as a mayor.
- Joshua Guilavogui (VfL Wolfsburg) last came back from a cruciate ligament tear in record time.
- Now it came out that the Bundesliga star is on a candidate list.
- The 29-year-old with the VFL Wolfsburg is actually in the middle of the most important phase of the season.
Wolfsburg - The fact that professional footballers are politically active is not one of the most common things in the football business. VfL Wolfsburg captain Joshua Guilavogui has now chosen a major project. He supports a candidate for mayor , among other things by his appearance on social media channels.
Bundesliga star on mayor list: captain is politically involved
As reported by sportbuzzer.de , Guilavogui is involved in his French hometown: for the local elections to be held in France on the 15th and 22nd, the Bundesliga star is on the list of the acting mayor of Toulon, Hubert Falco (72), member of the liberal conservative "Republicains", which has been in office since 2011.

As the portal continues to write, Guilavogui supports the French through its social media channels. It also says that he had been asked by many friends and his family in the past few days whether he wanted to switch to politics . Accordingly, the VfL captain does not intend to do this. Rather, the placement on the mayor list probably has non-material reasons.
"He asked me if I wanted to be part of his team." Guilavogui agreed, "because he did a lot for the people in this city." After the election, the contact should remain. "When I am on vacation at home, I will meet him, we might go out to eat. Or I accompany him to an appointment. I want to support this man, ” Guilavogui told sportbuzzer.de .

With the VFL, the Frenchman is currently fighting for international places - Lower Saxony are still represented in the Europa League .
