His Excellency Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), played his part in the Olympic Torch relay yesterday (Monday) afternoon ahead of this Friday’s opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France.
The Torch Relay is passing through more than 400 towns and cities across France and its overseas territories with the help of a host of illustrious figures from the world of sports, entertainment, and culture, including the Prince and Princess of Monaco, F1 driver Charles Leclerc, and Hollywood actress Halle Berry.
In recognition of Al-Khelaïfi’s contribution to French sport, as well as to the upcoming competition, the International Olympic Committee offered the PSG President the chance to collect the Olympic Torch in Vigneux-sur-Seine in the southern suburbs of the French capital, where he carried it for close to 500 metres before passing it to 84-year-old Marie-Rolande Biro, the former head of the Epinay judo club.
