The club has put match-worn shirts from Saturday’s 4–nil victory over Rennes up for auction, with all proceeds going to the Fondation Flavien, which supports children and families affected by cancer.
The shirts — worn and signed by players including captain Denis Zakaria and goalscorers Mamadou Coulibaly and Stanis Idumbo — are being auctioned online until the 15th of February.
The match itself was dedicated to the foundation, with players wearing special jerseys and a young supporter currently being helped by the charity invited for a dream evening at the Stade Louis-II.
On a day focused on awareness, action and hope, it’s a reminder that sport can play a powerful role in the fight against childhood cancer.
