The Variétés Club de France, a selection of football stars under the aegis of Jacques Vendroux, will travel on July 2 to Corrèze, to Marcillac-la-Croisille, to inaugurate the Jacques-Chirac stadium, almost three years after the death of the former president of the Fifth Republic. This event will take place for the benefit of the Jacques-Chirac Foundation.
A little over a year after the inauguration of the Charles-de-Gaulle stadium in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, in June 2021, the Variétés Club de France will celebrate another president of the 5th Republic on July 2: Jacques Chirac. The team made up of former glories of French football will inaugurate an enclosure in the name of the former politician, who died in September 2019, in the village of Marcillac-la-Croisille, in Corrèze.
