France v Ukraine pays tribute to victims of 13 November 2015 attacks | OneFootball

The Parc des Princes was the stage, this Thursday, for a tribute, before and during the match between France and Ukraine, to the victims of the attacks on November 13, 2015, in Saint-Denis and Paris, which left 132 dead and 350 injured.

The ceremony began with a minute of silence before the start of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers match. At 13 minutes, spectators lit up their cell phones while a banner with the colors of the French flag was unfurled in one of the stands, to the sound of the Marseillaise, the French national anthem.

The players and the technical staff of the French team wore the badge of the Bleuet de France Foundation, which assists veterans, war victims, and their families.

On Wednesday, in a press conference, France's captain, Kylian Mbappé, spoke on behalf of the team in memory of the attack victims.

“We wanted to express our solidarity with all those who lost loved ones, who were affected, injured, mentally or physically. We want the French people to know that, although qualifying for the World Cup is at stake, there are things much more important,” he declared.
