Read More »Rugby is the fastest growing sport in Africa - and the incredible rise of the sport in Nigeria Few countries in Africa can rival the passion and energy of traditional rugby powers in the world Not many Nigerians are aware that rugby is played in the country. The sport, though a team discipline, is not ranked as a favourite among many Nigerians in the same breath as football and basketball. So it was heartwarming when APO Group, a leading media relations agency and Official Partner of Rugby Africa, released key facts and figures into the Incredible Rise of African Rugby. In 2002, there were only six countries with notable participation in rugby on the continent: Morocco, South Africa, Namibia, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, and Ivory Coast. Fast forward to 2018 and an increase by 84%, Rugby Africa, World Rugby’s African association, has 38 union members including Nigeria. Growth in player registration in 2017 was 66% (excluding South Africa) against an overall global increase of 27%. Countries with the quickest growth in total number of players between 2016 and 2017 as identified in the report were Nigeria, Mauritius, Madagascar, Namibia, and South Africa, a fact clearly illustrating the passion for rugby across Africa. Prior to the commencement of the rugby league season in Nigeria, then candidate for president of the Nigeria Rugby Football Federation, Kelechi Mbagwu, made a commitment to increase participation in the sport from the Igbo-speaking South-East and the Niger-Delta region of South-South. True to his promise, there are more professional teams in the league from the zones. Registration growth in Nigeria from 2012-2017 has seen an increase by +282% compared to an increase of +292% in Senegal according to the report. Though official numbers were not stated, the growing popularity of rugby shows a blossoming affinity. Out of 105 countries playing competitive rugby in the world, one-third are African nations. “Rugby talents are everywhere on the continent”, an excitement that is further demonstrated by Madagascar, a country with more rugby clubs per capita than any other country where 160 teams exist in Antananarivo alone. Crowds for their international matches can top 40,000 people.
