Paul de Saint-Sernin, Eden Hazard, Paul Mirabel, Dominique Rocheteau, Javier Pastore, Robert Pirès, Artus, Stéphane Ruffier… all coming together for an exceptional “Match of Heroes” in support of the Institut de Myologie Association !
On May 31, legends of AS Saint-Étienne and a team of committed personalities – Paul de Saint-Sernin, Eden Hazard, Javier Pastore, Paul Mirabel, Thomas Ngijol, Artus, and many others – will take to the pitch at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard for a friendly match in support of research on Charcot’s disease (ALS) conducted at the Institute of Myology, a leading centre of expertise on muscles and its diseases. Tickets sales for this exceptional event open today on the ASSE website!
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that attacks the motor neurons controlling muscles, leading to progressive paralysis. Gaining a better understanding of the interactions between nerves and muscles is a key challenge in developing new therapeutic approaches, as there is currently no curative treatment for this disease. All proceeds from this charity football match will be donated to the Association Institut de Myologie -an international centre of expertise founded by AFM-Téléthon dedicated to muscle and its diseases- to support the development of therapies, particularly gene therapies, to treat ALS.
A worthy cause that will inspire both teams: the “Vert Legends”, led by captain Loïc Perrin, alongside Dominique Rocheteau, Pascal Feindouno, Mathieu Debuchy and Stéphane Ruffier, and the “Heroes”, brought together by Paul de Saint-Sernin, with Eden Hazard, Javier Pastore, Paul Mirabel, Thomas Ngijol and Artus, and more.
Fans can look forward to a legendary match set to ignite the ‘Chaudron’ at 7.30 pm on May 31 will also pay tribute to Georges Bereta, the iconic former captain of “Les Verts” and the French national team, who passed away from ALS in 2023.
