October may be the month of pink, but unfortunately everything is not rosy… For eight years, the Femmes de Football association has been involved throughout the year alongside the sick and those in need. In this context, this Sunday's match between Racing and Nantes will be placed under the sign of Pink October.

In partnership with the Femmes de Foot association and adidas, the players will enter the pitch with a pink jacket specially designed for the occasion. And since the fight continues throughout the year, not just in October, the players of the women's team will also wear it when they host Saint-Étienne in the Arkema Premier League on November 2. This collector's jacket will be available this Saturday in all official club stores and online. It will also be on sale at the Stade de la Meinau during the McDonald's Ligue 1 match against Nantes.
