They never miss a turn when it comes to contributing to a good cause. Didier Deschamps, Robert Pires and Youri Djorkaeff, the 1998 world champions, will be present this Monday, January 23 in Monaco, on the occasion of a charity meeting for the benefit of Fight Aids Monaco. Princess Stéphanie’s association supports people with the HIV virus and carries out prevention operations.
As a result, the three former internationals (264 selections between them) will not be in Paris for the annual France 98 dinner, also set for January 23. According to our information, they had confirmed their presence in Monaco for quite some time before being informed of the date of the meal organized in a restaurant in the capital.
The event, placed under the aegis of the “Barbagiuans”, the team of Prince Albert II made up of “Monegasque legends” will again this year highlight the various actions carried out by Fight Aids Monaco. All profits made will be donated directly to Fight Aids Monaco.
The “Barbagiuans”, led by Jean Tigana, 1984 European champion ex-Monaco coach (1995-1999), will be able, in addition to Deschamps and Djorkaeff, to count on Fernando Morientes, Ricardo Carvalho, Sonny Anderson or Ludovic Giuly. They will be opposed to the team of Princess Stéphanie, Cirque FC, victorious in the last two confrontations. This will, in particular, be made up of other big names in football such as Pires, but also the Italians Luca Toni and Francesco Totti or the Dutchman Clarence Seedorf.
