Despite the supremacy of football as the "king" sport in Africa, rugby is trying to find a place for itself. In Ivory Coast, this sport even has a significant social dimension, notably contributing to the educational reintegration of children in Abobo.
“We pick up children who were not in school and we get them back into school. We explain to them that thanks to rugby, they can do something else,” says Bakary Meïté, former professional and international player.
