It is with deep sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Rachid Simoune of Libercourt, beloved brother of Coach Moustapha Simoune. His sudden loss has brought immense sadness to his family, friends, and the entire futsal community, leaving hearts heavy and spirits shaken.
Rachid was more than a name — he was a presence. He carried himself with quiet strength, humility, and a kindness that resonated with everyone fortunate enough to know him. Whether through his warm smile, his encouraging words, or his steadfast support for those he loved, Rachid had a way of making people feel valued and understood.
In Libercourt and beyond, he was known as a devoted family man whose love for his siblings, relatives, and friends ran deep. The bond he shared with his brother, Coach Moustapha Simoune, was especially profound. It was a relationship built not only on blood, but on loyalty, respect, and shared dreams. Through victories and challenges, they stood side by side, united by family and strengthened by mutual admiration.
Rachid’s connection to the futsal community was heartfelt and unwavering. Even if he was not always the one on the court, he was present in spirit — cheering from the sidelines, offering encouragement, and celebrating every triumph as though it were his own. He understood that sport is more than competition; it is about unity, discipline, and belonging. His presence at matches, trainings, and community gatherings was a reminder that support often makes the greatest difference.

He offered perspective, reassurance, and a calm steadiness that grounded those around him. His laughter, sincere and heartfelt, brought warmth even on the most ordinary days.
The shock of his sudden passing has left many struggling to comprehend a reality without him. There is an emptiness now — at family gatherings, at community events, and within the futsal circles where his presence felt constant. Yet amid the sorrow, there is also gratitude. Gratitude for the memories shared, for the lessons learned from his quiet example, and for the love he so freely gave.
Rachid’s legacy is not measured by years, but by impact. It lives on in the unity of his family, in the strength of his brother as he continues to lead and inspire, and in the hearts of friends who carry forward the kindness he showed them. His memory will echo in every game played with passion, in every act of solidarity within the community, and in every moment where love triumphs over loss.
