PSG winger Ousmane Dembele is set for a homecoming celebration unlike any other.
The former Stade Rennais winger, who clinched the Ballon d’Or, will present football’s most prestigious award in his childhood city, Evreux, this Sunday at the Stade Mathieu Bodmer, headquarters of the Evreux Football Club 27. After previous stops at the Parc des Princes and Qatar, Dembele’s “Ballon d’Or Tour” continues with this heartfelt visit.
According to AFP, the PSG star will be warmly received in Evreux’s town hall at 3:00 pm by the mayor and local officials, who will present him with a city medal in honor of his achievements. Camille Narancitch, the mayor’s chief of staff, remarked, “Dembele will be welcomed with enthusiasm and pride. He is not just a footballer but an inspiration for our youth.”
Dembele’s triumph is a source of immense pride for Evreux, the community where he first learned to fight, dream, and succeed. He shared, “This is a special moment, showing the trophy to the people who have supported me since the beginning.” For many locals, Sunday’s ceremony is a testament to hope, perseverance, and the power of believing in one’s roots.
