Warri Rugby Rumble holds April

Rugby activities return to the Warri axis of Delta State with the hosting of a Warri Rugby Rumble from April 4-7 2025, at the Nana Model College, Warri.

The Rugby event will feature the South South rugby champions Edo State rugby male teams against the Warri Rugby Football Club in seven, 10 and 15-aside rugby challenge matches.

The visitors who recently qualified for the National Rugby League Finals will use this encounter as one of its warm friendly preparations.

According to the organizers and coach of the Warri Eagles Rugby Club Victor Nwachukwu, it would be a huge privilege to host the South zonal champions in Warri after many years, thanks to the efforts of old and senior rugby players in Warri.

“Rugby has been in Warri since the early years when oil was discovered, and we have been involved in different rugby activities which includes national rugby tournaments in Lagos, Jos and Abuja and also have players in the male national teams,” he said.

“This rugby match is actually a testament of one of us who grew up playing the beautiful game with us and is now doing very well outside the country still playing the game and has returned to celebrate with his homies. Mr Aghogho Peace Ejiro who plays as a winger in England for the London Chargers Rugby League and the Nigeria Stallion 7’s UK and also a businessman who has decided to give back to the society and the game that made him.”

Visitors from Lagos, Abuja, Edo, Asaba and England are also expected to come catch the rugby spectacle.

Chairman of Warri South Local Government Weyinmi Agbateyiniro has thrown his weight behind the event to revive rugby in Warri.
