On the occasion of the fourth edition, the Friends Cup will pay tribute to the National Federation of Victims of Attacks and Collective Accidents (FENVAC). Linked by an agreement with the Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs, this fine association has been dedicated since 1994 to welcoming victims of terrorism and disasters.

Under the leadership of its general secretary Stéphane GICQUEL, its team of 8 employees (lawyers, psychologists, social workers, etc.) acts, on a daily basis and in support, in the various administrative procedures, in the defense of rights with the public authorities and also participates to legal proceedings.

“Because of terrorism, we experienced a very painful year 2015 for our country and its values. It then appeared obvious to me, within the framework of the Friends Cup, to salute the work of those who every day think of the victims and accompany them with warmth and efficiency in their battles, within a France still in a state of emergency ”, assures Romain MAGAGNIN, president of the event. “Symbolically, the 2016 final will also end on September 11, precisely 15 years after the terrible American attacks”.

As for Sidaction in 2014 or Les Restos du Coeur in 2015, five euros will therefore be paid to FENVAC for each player registered for the 2016 qualification of the competition, which will begin on May 28, at the golf course in Villennes-sur-Seine.
