Football fans have until 15th February to bid on match-worn AS Monaco jerseys from Saturday’s 4-0 victory over Rennes, with all proceeds supporting the Fondation Flavien’s fight against childhood cancer.
Fifteen special jerseys worn during the match are being auctioned on the BiddingSport platform. Available shirts include those worn by goalscorers Mamadou Coulibaly and Stanis Idumbo, captain Denis Zakaria, and players Aleksandr Golovin, Thilo Kehrer and Vanderson. Each jersey features the Fondation Flavien logo and has been signed by the player.
The auction runs until Sunday 15th February, with all funds going directly to the Monaco-based organisation that has spent over a decade supporting families affected by childhood cancer, raising awareness and funding research.
Match dedicated ahead of World Cancer Day
AS Monaco dedicated Saturday’s match to the Fondation Flavien just days before World Cancer Day on Thursday 4th February, reinforcing the club’s long-standing commitment to fighting childhood cancer through its ASMonacoeur programme.
Players wore the special jerseys throughout the match at the Stade Louis-II, with messages supporting the foundation displayed on LED boards around the stadium and on giant screens before kick-off and at half-time.
Young supporter experiences dream evening
The club invited nine-year-old Naël, a supporter being helped by the Fondation Flavien in his battle against illness, to experience an unforgettable evening. His night included a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, meeting players including captain Denis Zakaria, watching the warm-up pitchside with defender Christian Mawissa, and enjoying the match with his family from the Honour Lounge.
During the pre-match warm-up, AS Monaco General Director Thiago Scuro symbolically presented a club jersey to Denis Maccario, President of the Fondation Flavien, alongside Naël and volunteers from the organisation who were invited to attend the match.
Foundation’s vital work
The Fondation Flavien was created in August 2014 by Denis Maccario in memory of his son Flavien, who died from a brain tumour. It is the Principality’s first association dedicated to fighting childhood cancer and rare diseases.
The foundation supports research, helps affected families, establishes psychological support frameworks, and implements medical projects in Monaco and worldwide. It holds numerous fundraising and awareness events throughout the year.
To bid on the match jerseys, visit BiddingSport before the 15th February deadline. More information about the Fondation Flavien is available at fondationflavien.com.
