French minnows Lille have named a football pitch at their training ground after an ex-player.

The club have honored former forward Eden Hazard, who went on to play for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Hazard, who won several honors in his career and played a total of 194 games for Lille, made his debut in 2007.

He then left for Chelsea in 2012, the year they had won the Champions League.

Hazard was at a ceremony in Lille to inaugurate the new name for the ground.

The pitch will be called “Terrain Eden Hazard," which the club announced shortly before they lost 2-0 to Rennes in Ligue 1.
