Tous Mauves
RSC Anderlecht is synonymous with and has a heart for talent from the capital. An aspirational institution – the largest club in the country's most popular sport – that has the power to reach countless young people. More than ever, RSCA wants to translate that status into social impact.
Because talent is universal, but equal opportunities are not. And that inequality is particularly prevalent in the capital. In Brussels, 1 in 3 families live in poverty and 1 in 4 young people under the age of 18 are at risk of social exclusion.
Building on the talents of 1,000 young people
That is why RSC Anderlecht, with the financial support of its partner Telenet, has developed “Tous Mauves”. With this inclusion programme, RSCA aims to support 1,000 young people (mainly aged 8 to 18) growing up in socially vulnerable neighbourhoods in and around Brussels every year, offering them opportunities to discover and develop their talents. The aim is to accelerate and strengthen social inclusion.
What are the pillars of the Tous Mauves program ?
- Gender inclusion : more and more girls are playing football
- Digital inclusion : narrowing the digital divide
- Sporty inclusion : facilitating football and sports for everyone
- Professional inclusion : accelerate the integration of young people into the labor market
- Educational inclusion : access to additional education and competency development
How is the Tous Mauves program realized ?
Per challenge, RSCA collaborates with the strongest social organizations in their discipline. An ambitious annual program has always been developed with these social partners to achieve the common objectives. With this season a multitude of initiatives ahead: discovering the professions at RSCA together with professionals, coaching sessions, homework guidance, offering internships, facilitating sports, and much more.
What if I want to be part of Tous Mauves with my organization ?
RSC Anderlecht wants to make a difference with Tous Mauves for young talents in the capital and beyond. Does your organization have a (purple) heart for Brussels, youth & talent development and would you like to explore the options to be part of Tous Mauves ? Please contact tousmauves@rscanderlecht.be.
Job Interview Trainings at the Lotto Park
At the end of November, Lotto Park hosted job interview trainings for 150 students from Brussels. 17 companies sent volunteers who, in the VIP boxes of Lotto Park, spoke with the students about applying for jobs, CVs, and cover letters. Of course, they also practiced what happens during a job interview. Tous Mauves partner Telenet also shared their expertise with the students on job applications.
“It was very rewarding to see how driven and motivated the students were to successfully complete this interview training. As a partner, it gives us great hope that talent is not left untapped. An inspiring morning whose impact was immediately visible!”
FEFA Flag Bearers during RSCA - Club Brugge
During the top match between RSCA and Club Brugge, 15 young people from FEFA walked onto the pitch as flag bearers.

They watched purple-and-white win 1-0 against Club Brugge and enthusiastically cheered from the stands.
Tous Mauves Workshop: Press Conference
During the Tous Mauves Workshop, the 11 FEFA girls got a behind-the-scenes look at RSCA. Together with press officer Mathias Declercq, they went on a stadium tour, with extra attention to all areas important for journalists. In the press room, they then got hands-on experience. In small groups, they worked on different themes within women’s football and learned how to ask good questions and prepare a press moment. Then it was time for the real thing. RSCA players Aude Waldbillig and Mickaëlla Cardia joined the press moment and answered every question without hesitation.
