Cameroon wore shirts embroidered with
Marc-Vivien Foé's name and dates of birth and death as a tribute to their midfielder who had suffered
cardiac arrest and died on the pitch during their semi-final game against
Colombia three days earlier.[3][4] At the trophy presentation, two Cameroon players held a large photo of Foé, on which FIFA officials hung a runner-up medal. When France captain
Marcel Desailly was presented with the trophy, he held it in unison with Cameroon captain
Rigobert Song.[5][6]
