From September 8 to October 28, 2023, the Rugby World Cup will take place in France. For the opening match, the French team will face the All Blacks, the national team of New Zealand and will launch the competition with a dream match. The Rugby World Cup France 2023 will be a flagship event for rugby, pitting 20 teams against each other with the dream of winning the 10th Men's Rugby World Cup in history, and the second to be held in France after a memorable edition in 2007. Scheduled in the year of the bicentenary of the creation of rugby, invented in 1823 by William Webb-Ellis, the tournament will be the ideal ground to celebrate the tradition of ovalie and to mix the spirit of innovation of all stakeholders.

In this vein, the commitment is to deliver a positive impact competition, and to set new standards in social responsibility, inclusion and sustainability for a major international sporting event. To this end, TotalEnergies has signed on as an official sponsor of the competition and will work with the Organizing Committee to help make the Rugby World Cup a time for celebration and sharing. Beyond this objective, it will be an opportunity for the Company to raise awareness of its multi-energy dimension and to actively engage all its stakeholders and employees in this ambition.

48 matches, 51 days of competition, 9 stadiums, 20 qualified countries and millions of dedicated spectators. For a few weeks next fall, the world will be buzzing with tackles, penalties, tries and scrums.

To go all the way to the final and emerge victorious, the greatest teams will truly need to play as one by sharing such common values as rigor, solidarity and passion. The winning team will clearly need an extra dose of energy to lift the trophy...

It is an honor and a pleasure for TotalEnergies to be an Official Sponsor of Rugby World Cup France 2023. Integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect are key features of this sport, and they match our company's values. More importantly, rugby is organized first and foremost around a team, just like TotalEnergies: a collective of women and men committed to the energy transition. France is our home, especially southwestern France, a land of rugby that is an integral part of our history and DNA. We want to celebrate our ties and close relationship with our stakeholders and customers across the country I am delighted that TotalEnergies' teams will be putting their energy into making this great sports event a festive and popular French success worldwide!
