Paris Saint-Germain and principal partner Qatar Airways have launched a joint Pink October campaign, a month-long mobilisation for breast cancer awareness and fundraising. The club's professional teams will wear specially designed pink gradient kits during selected fixtures throughout October, with all proceeds directed to hospital programmes.
Funds raised during the campaign, which concludes on October 31, will be donated to the AP-HP.Sorbonne Université Hospital Group through the Paris Saint-Germain Endowment Fund. The donation will finance staff training, family-friendly spaces, and supportive care services such as adapted physical activity and beauty care at Tenon and Pitié-Salpêtrière hospitals. A cheque presentation ceremony reflecting the total amount raised will be held during the Ligue 1 match against Troyes on November 7.
Key fixtures and fan engagement
The sporting calendar features several highlight matches for the campaign. The handball team faces Fenix Toulouse Handball this Saturday, October 10 at 7 p.m. The women's football team hosts OL Lyonnes on Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m. Finally, the men's first team plays Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday, October 25 at 8:45 p.m. A dedicated Paris Saint-Germain Judo training session is also scheduled for October 21.
Supporters can participate in multiple ways. Limited edition Pink October jerseys from the men's, women's, and handball teams are available online and in official stores. Match-worn kits from the professional teams will be auctioned for charity. An online charity raffle runs from October 1 to 31, with prizes including a signed Pink October jersey, premium match experiences provided by Visit Qatar, Visit Rwanda, and Beyond Developments, and gifts from numerous club partners.
Internal and visitor initiatives
The mobilisation extends internally. Club employees are participating in prevention initiatives at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain Campus, and headquarters, in partnership with La Ligue contre le cancer. For visitors, the Stadium Tour offers a dedicated Pink October experience, and an awareness stand run by La Ligue contre le cancer will be open to all on October 5.
This philanthropic drive comes as Paris Saint-Germain sits 3rd in Ligue 1 with 11 points, just two points behind leaders Monaco. The team, which faces Le Mans this Saturday, is in strong form with three consecutive league wins. The Rouge et Bleu's last outing was a 2-1 victory at the Vélodrome against Olympique de Marseille on September 20, a match in which they conceded their only goal against in 270 minutes of play.
