France's Macron takes part in charity football match

French President Emmanuel Macron showed off his sporting prowess on Wednesday as he donned studs alongside ex-star footballers Didier Drogba, Didier Deschamps and Eden Hazard to raise money for children in hospital.

The charity match, which contributed to raising 57,500 euros for a hospital foundation presided over by Macron's wife Brigitte, was organized by the Varieties Club of France (VCF). The VCF has earned a reputation in France for organizing benefit matches and attracting star names to take part, such as former France coach Laurent Blanc.
