Following the disappearance at sea of Medhi Narjissi, a young hope in French rugby, Stade Toulousein opened a fund on Tuesday 13 August to support his family.
Stade Toulousein launched on Tuesday 13 August a solidarity initiative to support the family of Medhi Narjissi, the France Under-18 player who went missing at sea off the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Since August 7, local authorities have actively continued the search for the young “Rouge et Noir”, swept away by a wave during a recovery session at sea.

Faced with this situation, the club decided to take measures to help the family cope with this ordeal. An online prize pool has been opened on the Stade Tolousain association websiteintended to cover the costs that the family has to bear. This financial support should especially enable those close to the player to closely follow the research in South Africa.
The Toulouse club underlined in a press release published on X its commitment to the family of Medhi Narjissi. “Our priority is to support the family in this ordeal, with all the humanity and kindness that such a situation requires,” Stade Toulousein said.
