This was Weah's first visit outside Liberia as a president of his nation and he took a trip to France, the country where he started off his football career in. Macron had invited Weah to the lunch and a number of prominent football leaders also graced the occasion. FIFA President Gianni Infantino and CAF President Ahmad Ahmad too were present.
