Former Nigeria defender Taye Taiwo, former Cameroon midfielder Stephane Mbia and Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi were among the African legends present for Sunday’s Ligue 1 game as Marseille cruised to 3-1 victory over Bordeaux.

The continent’s stars were in attendance to help the club launch a programme “OM Africa” as they aim to reach more supporters in Africa, Goal reports.

In flagging off the programme, 2019 Africa Cup of Nations winning coach Belmadi took the ceremonial first kick at Stade Velodrome before goals from Jordan Amavi, Morgan Sanson and Nemanja Radonjic stretched Marseille’s winning streak to six matches in Ligue 1.

The Algeria coach also took with him the Afcon trophy while Mbia, Taiwo and former Burkina Faso star Charles Kabore reunited with a selfie.

Marseille are second in the French top-flight table with 34 points from 17 matches, five points adrift of leaders PSG.
