L'Equipe: Zidane is likely to be the third torch bearer of the Olympic Games, lighting the cauldron in Marseille

According to French media reports, if nothing unexpected happens, French legend Zidane will take part in the torch relay of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in Marseille and light the cauldron.

L'Equipe pointed out that French famous swimmer Florent Manodou will take the torch to the old port of Marseille by boat as the first leg of the torch relay in France. At that time, he will get off the ship and pass the torch to a second torchbearer whose identity is unknown for the time being. The second torchbearer will then pass the torch to a third person. The third torchbearer will be responsible for lighting the Maasai cauldron. This person will wear a hood and expose his face at the last minute. Although there is no official news yet, L'Equipe reported that unless the plan is changed again at the last minute, this person is probably Zidane. This news is different from the previous media reports, which said Zidane was probably the first torchbearer in France.
