In a grand official reception amid thousands of attendees including youth from the country’s football clubs, France Premiere President Emmanuel Macron felicitated the victorious soccer players for hoisting the country’s flag at the #FIFAChampionship.

As a rare honor, Macron’s office announced that the team and its coach would get the country’s highest accolade – the Légion d’Honneur, for their contribution to the nation in the form of #FIFA2018Victory.

“Never forget where you come from: all the clubs across France that trained you,” read Macron’s official statement.

While the cities ran into joyful events celebrating the victory of #LesBlues, Paris transport company RATP came up with an enthusing announcement that it would rename some of the country’s major stations after the team’s players.
