Votre source incontournable pour une couverture approfondie du sport américain, du college football à la WNBA, à travers le regard d’un journaliste sportif français passionné.
Je suis Rafael Claveau, fondateur et rédacteur en chef de North Sideline, une plateforme médiatique dédiée à faire découvrir la culture du sport nord-américain au public francophone.
Originaire de France, j’ai joué 15 ans en première division de football américain avec les Black Panthers de Thonon, avant d’entraîner en Nouvelle-Zélande. Aujourd’hui basé à Vancouver, BC, je baigne dans l’univers du football américain, de la NFL, du college football et du basketball depuis mon enfance.

🏈 Notre Dame Fighting Irish | USC Trojans | UCLA Bruins | Hawaii Warriors
🏈 Washington Huskies | Oregon Ducks | Washington State Cougars
🏈 Michigan Wolverines
🏈 Cotton Bowl 2025 à Arlington, Texas
🏈 National Championship 2025 à Atlanta, Géorgie

J’ai également été accrédité pour plusieurs matchs de NFL avec les Seattle Seahawks et couvert plus de 15 matchs de WNBA, principalement autour du Seattle Storm.
