The France national football team is about to launch its World Cup campaign. In just a few hours, Didier Deschamps' team will face Senegal, the African champion before the CAF's decision to name Morocco the winner as a sanction for the events that occurred in the CAN final. For this match and the others of the Blues during the World Cup, Maxence Lacroix has committed to offering pizzas to the village where he spent his childhood. This is how the Crystal Palace and France national football team defender decided to make a gesture for his hometown of Ajat. And that's not all, because Maxence Lacroix has also decided to propose to his mother that they offer pizzas every match night. The mayor of the commune of Ajat reported these statements, which show the mindset of Maxence who is very attached to the commune. So, will the France national football team manage to win its match against Senegal? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain, Maxence Lacroix has already won the heart of his hometown. The France national football team is entering the World Cup this Tuesday evening at 21h, French time, against Senegal. On American soil, the last dance of Didier Deschamps as a selector will last at least the three group stage matches of this group I, and more if the results of the Blues are sufficient to continue the adventure in the direct elimination phase. Whether it's Michael Olise, Désiré Doué, Rayan Cherki, Maghnes Akliouche or Maxence Lacroix, to name a few, they will all participate in their first major competition with the France national football team A. During the Blues' matches in the 2026 World Cup, pizzas will be offered to the inhabitants of the commune of Ajat. This is indeed the communication made by the mayor of the city. The Crystal Palace and France national football team defender is particularly attached to the commune of Ajat, where he spent his childhood. And that's why he decided to make a gesture for his hometown. But this gesture may not be enough to guarantee the victory of the Blues against Senegal. Only time will tell.
