Football remains one of the most popular sports in the world. Therefore, whatever their cultures, players, depending on the nature of training and matches, will have energy and nutritional needs necessary to meet the demands of a sport in perpetual evolution. This study was to assess the perceptions of footballers in divisions 1 and 2 on the athlete's diet. A group of 502 footballers from division 1 and 2 of Benin, selected according to the exhaustive method, participated in the interview on their perceptions of the athlete's diet. The respondents declared that the food consumption conditions are not the same in the regrouping and outside the regrouping. The players surveyed find that outside the group, it is often difficult to stay hydrated, to eat well while having good hand hygiene at the table and to organize the taking of meals. As far as grouping is concerned, the meals are not always varied and their constitutions do not favor good performance. However, visible efforts are made by the team management staff on the point of the organization of meals, hydration and hygiene of the hands of the players.
