And so, before he lost his sight, he asked his father to fulfill one of his dreams: to attend the match of his favorite team, Olympique Marseille. For a Corsica resident, the opportunity presented itself on the occasion of the championship game to be played in Ajaccio, the capital of the great French island. Aware of the incident, the Corsica club reserved a box in the stands for him and his family. And the little boy’s name is Kenzo, he was ready to watch his idols parade in his Olympic jersey. Everything was going perfectly until a group of fans attacked them, beat up the father, and ripped the boy’s shirt. They are also not happy that they got burned.
