SAINTE DÉVOTE TOURNAMENT

The 10th Sainte Dévote Rugby tournament was held in May 2022, after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic. This annual event promotes the idea of ‘Rugby for All’ and was established in 2009 to link the town of Lucciana in Corsica with the Principality as they shared the patron saint of Sainte Dévote.

Young players under 12 years old from 14 countries including Mauritius, Ireland, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Georgia, and Ecuador came together in Monaco to play the game and celebrate the virtues it seeks to uphold: unity, integrity, teamwork, and respect.

The competition particularly emphasised the importance of inclusivity for persons of all abilities and included accessible activities designed for young people with disabilities. Other activities offered young children ages 2 to 6 years old the chance to gain familiarity with the sport.
