The French federation has been promoting amateur football for a few weeks.
Didier Deschamps and his staff went to the technical center of the Paris League, in Villeparisis (Seine-et-Marne), a month and a half ago, to meet the educators of the region and salute their work.
In the photo, 23 tricolor players were present.
Only Mattéo Guendouzi was missing.
The OM midfielder started football by signing his first license with PSG, a professional club.
And also historical rival of the Phocaeans.
