The French football team for amputees impresses with its technical prowess and iron will.

In the Marseille-Cerdan gym in Levallois, where (future) French basketball star Victor Vembanyama plays, amputees on crutches manage to dribble around healthy players. They are part of the French amputation team, which has just returned from the World Championships in Turkey, where they finished 14th (out of 24) last month. On this international day of people with disabilities, players get to know their discipline in the city of Hauts-de-Seine with youths and then play a friendly match against healthy Levallois on a court the size of a handball court (and which is played 7 against 7). The audience is stunned by the quality of their ball control and the way they caress the skin despite their handicap. A real technical feat.
