Olympic Opening Ceremony Ignition Revealed? It was revealed that Zidane had arrived in Paris + rehearsals! Mbappe declined the invitation

The much-anticipated opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics is about to take place, and who will be the last to light the cauldron has also become the focus of attention from the outside world. On the evening of July 26, Beijing time, an authoritative media from France "RMC" revealed that France football legend Zidane is very likely to take on this important responsibility.


RMC host Egan said: "Zidane has arrived in Paris this Thursday, this is verified information. And photos of Zidane rehearsing in places like the Grand Palace have also been circulating wildly on social networks in the past few hours. The authoritative French media said bluntly that Zidane will attend the opening ceremony anyway, at least we can infer that he will be there at the end of the ceremony, of course, but this does not mean that he will be the one to light the flame, but he will be part of the opening party anyway.


A legend of France men's football, Zinedine Zidane is praised as France's greatest footballer, wearing the number 10 shirt to help France win their first World Cup at home in 1998 and win the European Championship two years later.


The star, whose parents are from Algeria, came from the favela of Marseille. He was considered the most likely candidate to welcome the Olympic flame from Greece in Marseille, but was not ultimately involved. Obviously, Zidane will be given a more important task by the hosts.


In addition to Zidane, other favourites include three-time Olympic gold medalist Marie José Perek, famous actor Omar Si, astronaut Thomas Pesque, and others.


As the current top star of the France men's football team, Mbappe, who just moved to Real Madrid this summer, declined the invitation to be the penultimate torchbearer. After a failed European Championship, Mbappe is currently on holiday to recharge his energy and look forward to reasserting himself at Real Madrid in the new season.
