Thing promised, thing due.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra confirmed at the microphone of RTL that she would go to Qatar for the quarter-final of the Blues, as she had announced before the start of the World Cup.
The Minister of Sports will thus imitate Gérald Darmanin, present in the stands for the opening ceremony of the tournament, on Sunday November 20, to represent the French government.
“Come on, let's go, let's go, I'll be there Saturday night.
It's my role, I even find it my duty to be by their side as a sign of recognition, justified Oudéa-Castéra after praising the French performance against Poland, the hero Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud.
We will all be behind them”.
Will the former director general of the FFT make a symbolic or supportive gesture in the Gulf state?
“I will be committed, faithful to my values, on the line of the convictions that I have shared from the start,” she assured.
The politician will have important meetings on the spot according to her: “I will have diplomatic talks on the spot.
I will go to meet the International Labor Organization, I will also be able to connect with associations that promote women's sport and education there.

Several times during the World Cup, the minister encouraged the Blues to express their commitment to human rights.
The French team responded to this in particular by writing a letter announcing that it would support NGOs through its
Generation 2018 endowment fund.
🗣 Should Les Bleus speak out on human rights in Qatar?
➡️ “Didier Deschamps said the important word: freedom. I trust them,” said the Minister. “What is important is that we rebalance, that we talk more about the athlete.”
