He’s 19 years old and he’s donating his earnings after every match to charity, because he believes he doesn’t need to be paid to represent his country. His name is Kylian Mbappe and he made history at the World Cup when he became France’s youngest scorer ever at a major tournament. This amazing athlete however, is not interested in being paid for his efforts; he’s donating all of his earnings and bonuses to Premiers de Cordees association and other charitable .
“So yes, there is money at stake. But I do not care. I do not play for that.” – Kylian-Mbappe
The Premiers de Cordees association is that arranges sports activities for children with disabilities, and Mbappe is a godfather to this organization. Premiers isn’t the only organization that will benefit from the athlete’s generosity; Mbappe will be donating to a different organization after every game. Apparently, the athletes playing for France are very dedicated to their country, teammate Samuel Umtiti has also claimed he doesn’t need to be paid to play for France either.
This past Saturday, France beat Argentina in what was marked as, “one of the greatest World Cup Games of all time“.
