Tunis/Tunisia — Given the current health crisis, the Rugby Africa Executive Committee has approved the immediate release of €170,000 (539,140 thousand Tunisian dinars) from a solidarity fund.
In a statement published on June 4 on its official website, Rugby Africa said that all member federations are eligible for this financial aid to support their rugby communities.
«As centers of shared values, and spaces for individual and group development, our federations play a key role in rugby's success in Africa.
More than ever, the current health crisis is having a major impact on all federations and their clubs, their coaches, and their players - the pillars of Rugby Africa.
This financial support supplements a range of initiatives already rolled out to boost our rugby community and highlights the shared values and cooperation dear to our organisation.
