Overview

  • Medhi Narjissi, 17, disappeared in August 2024 during a recovery swim on a hazardous South African beach while with the France U18 rugby team.
  • The Narjissi family met with Sports Minister Marie Barsacq on April 28, 2025, to review the IGESR report, which revealed serious organizational faults by the FFR.
  • A judicial investigation into involuntary manslaughter remains open, with former U18 manager Stéphane Cambos questioned earlier this month.
  • The FFR is criticized for eliminating the delegation chief role, previously responsible for team safety, prior to the tour.
  • Technical advisors implicated in the FFR’s internal report have been suspended, and the family continues to demand accountability from FFR leadership.
