Why Rugby Matters in Africa

Africa has some of the most passionate fans and fastest growing leagues on the continent. From South Africa’s Super Rugby franchises to emerging clubs in Kenya and Namibia, the sport builds community, fuels local economies, and showcases African talent on the world stage. When a team like the Stormers makes history, it isn’t just a win for Cape Town – it lifts the whole region.

What to Watch This Week
