Sprint legend Usain Bolt to perform honorary kick-off at Monaco vs Marseille clash
Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt will kick off Sunday's top-flight encounter between Monaco and Marseille at the Louis-II stadium.
The world's fastest man will take centre stage at Stade Louis-II this Sunday evening when Jamaican sprinting icon Usain Bolt performs the ceremonial kick-off for Monaco's Ligue 1 fixture against Marseille.
The eight-time Olympic gold medallist will launch proceedings for what promises to be a captivating encounter between two of France's most storied clubs. The match, scheduled for 8:45pm, will close out the 28th round of fixtures in the French top flight.
Bolt, now 39, stepped away from competitive athletics following the 2017 World Championships in London, bringing down the curtain on a career that redefined sprinting. His appearance at the Principality's iconic stadium adds extra glamour to what is already being billed as one of the weekend's standout fixtures.
The presence of such a celebrated sporting figure underlines Monaco's continued ability to attract global stars to its venues, further cementing the club's reputation as one of European football's most prestigious destinations.
