En dépit de + infinitive
Can we use the infiniitive with en dépit de
En dépit de jouer du football pour deux heures, je n'étais pas fatigué

Bonjour Wiliam !
Actually, you can't use "en dépit de" + infinitive in French, and it's tricky, because basically such a sentence construction doesn't really exist in French, and to express this, the best option would be to use "bien que" + Subjonctif, as such:

Bien que j'aies joué au foot pendant deux heures, je n'étais pas fatigué.
Although I had played football for two hours, I wasn't tired.

I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
