On Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the Stade Louis II, H.S.H. Princess Charlène of Monaco, President of the Monegasque Rugby Federation, officially presented the jerseys to the Principality’s U16 rugby team as they prepare to compete in the prestigious Dubai7s tournament.

This jersey presentation carried special significance as the designs were the result of a contest held among students of Collège Charles III. This initiative not only fostered creativity but also highlighted the core values of sport and teamwork, inspiring the younger generation to embrace the spirit of rugby.

The collaboration between the Monegasque Rugby Federation and the Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation underscores their shared commitment to promoting rugby and its unifying values. Through this initiative, they aim to instil principles of discipline, respect, and solidarity among Monaco’s youth, fostering not just athletic excellence but also personal development.

As the U16 team embarks on this international competition, the encouragement of Princess Charlène and the collective support of the Principality are expected to serve as powerful motivators. This event also showcases Monaco’s dedication to advancing rugby on a global stage, bringing attention to the nation’s growing presence in the sport.

The presentation ceremony celebrated the intersection of sport, education, and community spirit, embodying the values that both the Federation and the Foundation champion. As the team heads to Dubai, they carry not just their jerseys but the hopes and pride of the Principality.Photo credit: Eric Mathon / @palaisprincierdemonaco
