French Football Doesn't Forget

For the third year in a row, we are excited to announce the French league-wide auction in collaboration with the Ligue de Football Professionnel, which will include all Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT clubs, as well as the French Women’s National Team and the French Under-21 National Team. This initiative is underway to raise awareness of the Bleuet de France, which is managed by the ONACVG, the National Office for Veterans and Victims of War. All jerseys and auctions are listed online at https://www.matchwornshirt.com/Lfp.

The LFP took the opportunity to collect 245 jerseys from Matchday 15 in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, Ligue 2 BKT, and French soccer as a whole, in order to organize a league-wide auction aimed at raising awareness of the Bleuet de France and the duty of remembrance. Last year, the LFP auctions were a great success, raising almost 100,000 euros in proceeds.

This year, we are excited to present various highly anticipated and polarizing jerseys, such as those of Sergio Ramos, Alban Lafont, Marco Verratti, and Achraf Hakimi. The auctions for these stars, and for all the other jerseys, started on November 15 at 4 PM, with the Ligue 2 BKT auctions closing on November 27 at 2 PM and the Ligue 1 Uber Eats auctions closing at 3 PM. Each jersey is incredibly special and meaningful thanks to the Bleuet de France flower featured on the chest.

The Bleuet de France was born during the First World War, and much like the English poppy, it was one of the few colorful flowers growing in the soil of those dark and grim battlefields. Since then, the Bleuet de France has become the symbol of remembrance and solidarity in France toward the Armed Forces. The ONACVG, the National Office for Veterans and Victims of War, manages the Bleuet de France charity, which every year provides assistance to veterans, victims of war and terrorism, widows, and orphans, while also keeping this tradition alive year after year. All the proceeds from the auctions will be donated to the Bleuet de France charity in order to help the ONACVG have an even greater impact on the lives of the people it has dedicated its existence to serving.
