The Saut du Loup stadium, the training ground of the Stade Français, will become the Christophe-Dominici stadium in tribute to the former emblematic winger of the XV of France and the Parisian rugby club, who died suddenly in November 2020 at the age of 48 years old. The Paris Council voted unanimously on Friday for the deliberation carried out by Pierre Rabadan, sports assistant to the mayor PS Anne Hidalgo and himself a former teammate of Christophe Dominici during the heyday of the Parisian club, between 2001 and 2008. " Sometimes I still do not manage to realize ”the death of the former star winger of the Blues, declared Mr. Rabadan, very moved and very applauded. Located in the Bois de Boulogne, the Saut du Loup stadium is "a very suitable place" to pay tribute to his "friend" who lived nearby and, owner of a few horses,loved to go to the neighboring Longchamp racecourse, summed up the former third row, which benefited from the support of the LR town hall of the 16th arrondissement to rename the enclosure.
