The second edition of the prestigious PARIS FOR GOOD charity gala was held on Tuesday, 23 September 2025, in the iconic setting of the Parc des Princes. Organized under the high patronage of Her Excellency Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, the event raised a record €4 million in support of PSG for Communities, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and Naked Heart France, to fund initiatives dedicated to young people with autism spectrum disorder and their families.

The funds raised will enable PSG for Communities to expand its One Team programs both in France and internationally, including in the United States (Seattle, Washington).

• One Team is an inclusive program of PSG for Communities designed to promote the integration of young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through football.

• The program brings together around one hundred young participants, both with ASD and neurotypical, for weekly training sessions where everyone learns to embrace differences.

• One Team has already been rolled out in several cities across France, including Aubervilliers, Clamart, Ivry-sur-Seine, and Lille, as well as internationally in Doha.

To strengthen its rollout, PSG for Communities and Naked Heart France have co-developed an Implementation Guide, enabling any volunteer to implement the program and provide more children with the opportunity to play football in an inclusive environment.

In parallel, the donations will allow Naked Heart France to reinforce several key initiatives of the association:

• The training in the Caregivers Skills Training program — developed by the WHO — of 12 master trainers, who are now able to freely disseminate these scientifically validated tools to professionals and families concerned;

• The development of inclusive cultural partnerships in order to offer all visitors a complete experience in which everyone feels included and respected in their desire for cultural discovery;

• The project to open the first Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention Center in France.

Natalia Vodianova, founder of Naked Heart France, stated: “PARIS FOR GOOD reflects Naked Heart’s ambition: to build an open society that embraces autistic and neurodiverse individuals without exception. By joining forces around football alongside PSG for Communities, we are creating spaces where every child can thrive. Inclusion is not a distant ideal, it is a reality we must build together, step by step.”

"At Paris Saint-Germain, we believe that the greatness of a club is measured not only by its performance on the pitch, but also by its collective ability to inspire hope and drive meaningful change in society. Through PSG for Communities and Naked Heart, and with the support of the PARIS FOR GOOD Gala diner, we are proud to harness the generosity of all to build sustainable projects that support children and families most in need,” said Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain and PSG for Communities.

Exceptional prizes for an exceptional evening

Among the items auctioned were unique experiences and exceptional creations blending art, sport, fashion, and culture.

Highlights included an original work by VHILS engraved on a seat from the Parc des Princes paired with a “VIP PSG” experience, the iconic Air Jordan 1 High ’85 signed and accompanied by a Jordan x PSG jersey and ceremonial kick-off at the Parc, as well as a Champions League package including a match ball, pitch turf, and a collector’s pennant.

Iconic pieces from leading luxury houses completed the selection: a Louis Vuitton trunk, invitations to a Dior fashion show, a limited-edition Hublot watch, and a Messika ring from the archives.

Driven by Natalia Vodianova, founder of Naked Heart France, and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain and PSG for Communities, the evening was hosted by journalist Ophélie Meunier and brought together numerous personalities from the worlds of sport, fashion, cinema, and culture in support of the event.

To conclude the evening, Aya Nakamura — the world’s most listened-to French-speaking artist, who has established herself as an icon of urban pop through her distinctive style and undeniable charisma — delivered an exclusive performance for the distinguished guests. On this extraordinary occasion, she revisited her global hits and signature tracks.
