Frank Leboeuf, Champion du Monde de Football (1998).
Marseillais devenu champion du monde en 98 avec les mythiques Bleus d'Aimé Jacquet. Il a déjà vécu des émotions au-delà du commun. Ce libéro, défenseur émérite, pilier de l'Olympique de Marseille, ne redoute pas l'aventure.
Frank Leboeuf: "C'est quelque chose qui demande de la force, du courage et c'est pour ça que j'ai voulu le faire."

Koh-Lanta

Frank entered the competition as one of the renowned French athletes, so he was assigned to the Malabou tribe. They immediately competed in the first Reward Challenge and won it against the Tiac tribe, which consisted of returning players. At camp, the Malabou tribe succeeded in finding their water fairly quickly, but they failed to start a fire. Meanwhile, Myriam Lamare and Frank had a small conflict over where the tribe's shelter should be set up. The next day, the Malabou tribe narrowly lost the first Immunity Challenge, which they blamed on a strategy that Frank had suggested for the water portion of the challenge. With Tribal Council looming for the Malabou tribe, Betty Lise became a target due to her being seen as the weakest of the group in challenges. However, Frank felt that Betty still had more to show in future challenges if given the chance to prove herself and he initially wanted to target Gwendal Peizerat, who he felt was not as knowledgeable or trustworthy as he came across. In spite of this, at Tribal Council, Frank joined Djamel Bouras and Frédérique Jossinet in voting out Betty in a 3-2-1 vote. Meanwhile, Frank had received votes from Myriam because of their conflict earlier in the cycle and from Betty because she had less affinity with him than the rest of the tribe.

Right before the second Reward Challenge, Hot Pursuit, both tribes received a new member: Mohamed Derradji was assigned to the Tiac tribe and Taïg Khris was assigned to the Malabou tribe. The Malabou tribe won this challenge and Frank commented that their victory reminded him of when the French football team, which included him at the time, had won the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The next day, however, the Malabou tribe narrowly lost the second Immunity Challenge, which they blamed mainly on Gwendal swimming off course in one of his relays. Also, they still had yet to start a fire, which prompted Denis Brogniart to visit their camp and give them fire on the condition that they relocate their camp to a location that would be more strategic for their fire. Going into Tribal Council, many members of the Malabou tribe were in danger of being voted out, including Taïg because he was the newest member of the tribe, Frank because his injured back was a concern going into challenges, and Gwendal because of his perceived ostentatious demeanour around camp and his performance in the corresponding Immunity Challenge. Ultimately, with only two votes cast against him, Frank was voted out at Tribal Council.
