An event was held in Paris at the start of the Rugby World Cup 2023, co-organized by the Uruguayan Rugby Union, the National Sports Secretariat, the French-Uruguayan Chamber of Commerce, the Uruguayan Embassy in France, Uruguay XXI and INAC.
It was attended by Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou and was attended by some 160 guests, including Uruguayan authorities, French businesspeople and sports personalities.
