You've got a great champion in you: come and show off your soccer skills on the sports fields of Paris, during an open-air match with friends.
It's the best way to get some exercise, while having fun with friends and bonding (or arguing, depending on the final score): playing soccer with friends is as good for your health as it is for socializing. Unfortunately, adults don't have a playground at work. So if you want to play soccer, you have to find a pitch elsewhere.
The good news is that Paris and the surrounding towns are home to a large number of outdoor sports fields, accessible every day. In a square, a park or a stadium, you can get together to let off steam and play as if the World Cup trophy were waiting for you at the end of the game.
