\"\u00a0Before meeting you on the pitch, I am delighted to welcome you to the station throughout the Rugby World Cup France 2023.<\/em>\u00a0\"Professionals criss-crossing France will be surprised to find themselves guided by the voice of Antoine Dupont<\/strong> during their travels. Throughout the competition, the captain of the French national team will be accompanying fans and ordinary travellers alike on their journeys through a series of advertisements broadcast in the following media stations in the 10 host cities<\/strong>in the TER <\/strong>of the region Occitania <\/strong>or on RER lines B and D<\/strong>those leading to Stade de France<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the star of French rugby has been chosen to enhance the travel experience, rather than Simone H\u00e9rault, the 'voice' of the SNCF for the past 40 years, is testament to the scale of the event for the railway company. As sponsor of the competition, it will be responsible for transporting a large proportion of the 2.6 million spectators expected to attend, as well as most of the teams. No fewer than 80 journeys are planned for this purpose - i.e. 70% of their journeys<\/strong> - to take them from their base camps to the venues. Without delay, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who play will take the train<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the SNCF <\/strong>can also count on the involvement of its subsidiaries, in particular Keolis, which will be chartering around a hundred coaches for local and regional journeys. transporting teams<\/strong> from the stations to the stadiums, and G\u00e9odis, which will be responsible for transporting the equipment and 80 tonnes of training materials for the 20 participating nations. All this will be done using low-emission vehicles, including 40 biogas trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To coincide with this event, the SNCF is also transforming Ground Countrol, a third-party venue close to the Gare de Lyon that it owns, into a Festive HQ <\/strong>with events, exhibitions and screenings of all 48 matches. But sponsorship of the event is also, and above all, a way of bringing people together internally. \"\u00a0The Rugby World Cup embodies the human values of solidarity and commitment that all railway workers identify with.<\/em>t\", explained Jean-Pierre Farandou, CEO of the SNCF, at the signing of the partnership with France 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
