A cheque was symbolically presented during the match between Paris Saint-Germain and ESTAC Troyes on Saturday 7 November 2026, in the presence of athletes Jackie Groenen (PSG Women’s Football), Marquinhos (PSG Men’s Football), Rodrigo Corrales (PSG Handball) and Dayyan Boulemtafes (PSG Judo), as well as representatives of the Club, Qatar Airways and AP-HP.
A record fundraising campaign powered by the entire Rouge & Bleu community
Running throughout October, this collective campaign raised €90,075.63*, more than double the €44,006.97 collected in 2025.
At the heart of the campaign, the charity raffle raised €51,271, thanks to exceptional prizes donated by Paris Saint-Germain partners**. Promoted extensively across the Club’s stadiums and digital platforms, the raffle attracted 5,255 participants, with 15,846 tickets sold, alongside direct donations.
Other fundraising initiatives also contributed to the total: auctions of shirts worn by the men’s, women’s and handball teams during the fixtures dedicated to Pink October; donations made by supporters when paying at Parc des Princes concessions and official Club stores; the sale of memorabilia, including signed and framed collector shirts, as well as limited-edition Pink October shirts in stores; and a pink-themed catering initiative during matches and the Stadium Tour.
The campaign continues in the Club’s official stores, where Pink October shirts and memorabilia remain available. A share of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to AP-HP.Sorbonne Université, extending Paris Saint-Germain’s charitable commitment beyond October.
“This record total reflects the power of the entire Paris Saint-Germain family to come together. Players, athletes, supporters, employees and partners have joined forces for a cause that is particularly close to our hearts. This mobilisation also forms part of the lasting relationship we are building with AP-HP, supporting hospital patients, their loved ones and healthcare teams.”
Practical support for patients and their loved ones
All funds raised will be donated to AP-HP under an agreement with the Paris Saint-Germain Endowment Fund, supporting programmes developed by Tenon AP-HP Hospital and Pitié-Salpêtrière AP-HP Hospital.
The funds will help finance staff training, dedicated spaces for families and activities that support patients’ well-being throughout their care pathway.
This contribution extends the long-standing partnership between Paris Saint-Germain and AP-HP, led through the Club’s Endowment Fund and PSG for Communities, to support hospital patients, their loved ones and healthcare teams.
A collective effort across all sections of the Club
For the fifth consecutive year, Paris Saint-Germain joined forces with its main partner Qatar Airways for Pink October. The campaign came to life through four major events involving all of the Club’s sporting sections: Paris Saint-Germain Handball against Fénix Toulouse Handball, the women’s team against OL Lyonnes, the men’s team against Olympique Lyonnais, and a Paris Saint-Germain Judo training session.
Staged in the colours of Pink October, these events gave a prominent role to women affected by breast cancer, who were invited to perform the ceremonial kick-off at all three matches. At the men’s fixture, 22 of them also accompanied the players onto the pitch, while girls from PSG for Communities’ Allez les filles programme escorted the players before the women’s match against OL Lyonnes.
The Collectif Ultras Paris also supported the campaign by organising a haircut initiative behind the Auteuil stand around the match against Olympique Lyonnais. The hair collected was donated to Fake Hair Don’t Care, which uses it to make wigs for people affected by cancer. The aim was to highlight this accessible form of donation and show that every contribution matters.
From Parc des Princes and the Paris Saint-Germain Campus to the Club’s headquarters, official stores and Stadium Tour, the campaign brought together the Club’s community across its key venues and major events. It also delivered practical breast cancer awareness initiatives for supporters and employees.
