Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, on the evening of Friday, 13th November 2015, the International Federation of Savate, its Board of Directors, member federations and athletes offer their condolences to the injured, to the families of the victims and to the people of France.
We also think of the victims of terrorism worldwide. Every day innocent people and their families suffer at the hands of extremists.
However, in these dark times, we must also remember the power of sport to bring together people and unite communities, to bring reconciliation and peace. A March for Peace will be held in Monaco on November 25th as part of the 8th International Forum on Peace and Sport. Savate, by its values, supports this desire for peace and living together in harmony.
