If he started his career in Toulon, it was truly in Paris that it took off with an immediate title of champion of France in 1998.

After his death, the club paid tribute to him: “During the 11 years spent under our colors, Christophe will have, thanks to his incredible talent and his class, greatly contributed to writing the history of the club”.

Christophe Dominici has won the Brennus shield 5 times with Stade Français and was a two-time European Cup finalist.
