Profitable and Fully Funded R360 Rugby Venture Confirmed by Inner Circles After One Year.
Ready to dive into the game-changing world of R360, the global rugby competition? This groundbreaking league is set to redefine the sport, thanks to its ambitious franchise ownership model.
Behind the scenes, ex-England player Mike Tindall, alongside the likes of Stuart Hooper, Mark Spoors, and John Loffhagen, are the masterminds pulling off this revolution. The team aims to alter the sport's landscape by attracting big-name players and brands from every corner of the earth.
The much-anticipated event is rumored to hit the pitch in 2026, with hopes of turning a profit in its sophomore season. The project has managed to secure funding from a diverse pool of global investors, ranging from ambitious sports funds to high-rolling individuals across continents—from the States to the Middle East and right here in Blighty. It's worth noting that no sovereign wealth is involved in this venture.
The competition will kick off with eight scintillating men's teams and four head-spinning women's squads, with plans to visit a whopping 16 venues (including Tottenham) across the globe. Bids on the men's franchises have attracted attention from all four corners of the world, with offers pouring in from every continent. The team behind R360 is closing in on finalizing these sales, as offers come in the tens of millions.initial funding for the women’s teams is being provided in-house.
Expansion plans already have two more men’s teams in the pipeline for the near future, ensuring the league maintains its buzzing, globe-trotting allure.
Frustrated with the broken system in club rugby, where hardly any teams manage to turn a profit, the R360 team is out to fix it all. They've already signed on nearly 100 top players—the majority of whom are current internationals and under 32. The catch? These star athletes will be paid more while playing less, all while still representing their countries. As for international unions, it seems their reactions vary—with some hailing the project as a breath of fresh air and others… well, let's just say there's room for negotiation.
The dream of change isn't unique to R360, as attempts to shake up the commercial side of rugby have been made worldwide in recent years. But this time around, the competition is serious business, with the Champions Cup's governing body announcing a Club World Cup for 2028, and an international Nations Cup set to drop next year.
So buckle up, rugby fans—it's about to get wild!
Mike Tindall, alongside Stuart Hooper, Mark Spoors, and John Loffhagen, are not only revolutionizing rugby with the international R360 competition, but they are also aiming to change the landscape of football, by attracting big-name players and brands worldwide. The team's ambitious expansion plans include adding more men's teams, ensuring the league's continued success and global appeal.
