Benzema, a professional footballer who plays for Spain’s Real Madrid and the French national team as a striker, had his fast-breaking iftar dinner with African footballers living in the city’s Fatih neighborhood.
Fatih Mayor Mustafa Demir was among the participants in the iftar program, organized by the municipality.
