The Rugby World Cup has lived up to its theme of the world in union.
That’s the verdict of Samuel Ducroquet, France’s Ambassador of Sports, who has been leading the country’s efforts of making the tournament second to none.
The biggest try scored off the field has been ability to ensure teams, fans and businesses all benefitted.
“In terms of the organization of the competition, it has definitely… the number of fans attending the games is spectacular, the number of people watching is huge.”
France is now focused on ensuring the Paris 2024 Olympics becomes the best games there has ever been.
Fiji will be defending its men’s rugby sevens gold medal and Ducroquet says all should be ready in time in Paris.
“From what I have heard from people to all people that were questioning, the teams were very well welcomed to France in good conditions, very good conditions.”
France has put sports diplomacy as a major agenda to build better relationships in the field of sport.
